Women less intelligent: Polish leader

 A Polish extreme-right MEP faced on Friday an inquiry over “sexist remarks” in the European Parliament after he said women should be paid less because they are weaker and less intelligent than men.

Janusz Korwin-Mikke, 74, has previously been sanctioned by the EU assembly for making racist comments and remarks about the Holocaust. “Of course women must earn less than men, because they are weaker, they are smaller, they are less intelligent, they must earn less, that’s all,” Korwin-Mikke told parliament.

He previously courted controversy by claiming Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was “not aware of the extermination of the Jews”.
