European lawmakers voted 447-196, thus reaching two-thirds of the votes required to remove Czarnick from his position.
Czarnecki, who was one of 14 vice-presidents, will continue to be a member of parliament in Strasbourg, France, representing the Polish party and the Justice Party, broadcasts Klan Kosova.
Last month, he has named Rose Thun, a European Parliament lawmaker from Poland's opposition party “Civic Plataform”, “smalsovnik”, the derogatory term for Poles blackmailing Jews, or the secretive Poles, during the Nazi occupation of Poland.
His words came after Thun criticised the ruling Polish party in a German television broadcast, accusing authorities of moving the country towards “dictature”.
Following Wednesday's vote, Czarnecki described the move against him as <x0-Polact” and said he does not regret protecting his country against opposition politicians who criticise Poland abroad, the Klan Kosova broadcast.
