Weekly Summary, 1.6 (Sport 1)
The Champions League final will take place next Saturday (June 10, 6:22) and will bring together Manchester City and Inter Milan in a battle for the trophy with the big ears. Szymon Marciniak, the Polish referee who had already judged the World Cup final and the semi-final in which the English champions beat Real Madrid 00-0, became embroiled in details published in the Italian media about his political background in Poland.
According to the report, Marciniak attended a meeting with representatives of the extreme right in Poland, was one of the speakers at the event and even wore a FIFA uniform. The extremist movement represents the Confederations Party, which was notorious for its slogan: "We are against Jews, gays, abortion, taxation and the European Union."
