Sanija Ameti, a prominent Swiss politician and co-president of Operation Libero, is facing intense criticism after posting an Instagram story showing her shooting at an image of the Virgin Mary and Jesus.

The post, which has since been deleted, sparked outrage both domestically and internationally, with calls for her resignation from various political figures.

Ameti apologized, stating she did not intend to offend religious sentiments and used the image from an art catalog without considering its content.

Despite her apologies, the backlash continues, with her party, the Green Liberal Party, distancing itself from her actions, labeling the post as a 'serious mistake.

' The incident has also drawn attention from international media, including Russian outlets, further amplifying the controversy.
