WARSAW, September 11 - RIA Novosti. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk linked the recent bloody attacks in the republic's schools with computer games and right-wing radicalism.

“What attracts attention online is a group that is active on the Internet, active when it comes to searching for Nazi content with violence. Some people who have been detained over the past few dozen hours are active in the ultra-right community, in which, unfortunately, often even small children participate,” Tusk said.

He noted people's growing fascination with computer games containing violent content.

“There are also groups that are active in various computer games, even the most banal ones that we are used to, as well as in those that are appearing more and more often lately - “violence for violence”. This is a very dangerous phenomenon for civilization... there are many very popular games where violence appears in an increasingly obvious way,” the prime minister said.

On Saturday, a 21-year-old woman attacked three young men near a school in central Warsaw. A 17-year-old girl, a 17-year-old and a 24-year-old boy were stabbed.
