Package: thonny
Version: 4.0.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #1035100
X-Debbugs-Cc: piorunz at gmx.com

Dear Maintainer,

The "Support Ukraine" button in Thonny violates the Debian Code of Conduct by
embedding politically charged content within a technical package. Debian
prioritizes neutrality and aims to provide a collaborative, inclusive
environment free from political endorsements. This content risks dividing users
and distracts from the technical focus of the Debian ecosystem.

Please remove the "Support Ukraine" button from Thonny as soon as possible in
the Debian-hosted code. If this is not feasible, it is requested to remove the
Thonny package from the Debian repository altogether. The inclusion of such
political content is not aligned with Debian's principles.
