During the Smole\u0144sk monthly commemoration at Pi\u0142sudski Square in Warsaw, PiS leader Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski delivered a speech condemning protesters and addressing Russian culpability. <\/p>\n
On Monday morning, August 10, a group of PiS politicians laid wreaths in front of the monuments to President Lech Kaczy\u0144ski and the Victims of the 2010 Smole\u0144sk Tragedy at Pi\u0142sudski Square in Warsaw. They were led by Jaros\u0142aw Kaczy\u0144ski, who traditionally delivered a speech.<\/p>\n
During his speech, which was disrupted by demonstrators, the PiS leader assessed that today’s radical lack of support for Tusk and his government is a harbinger of a change in power. He announced that institutions will later be established to secure the cause of Polish the rule of law and democracy, and\u2014as Kaczy\u0144ski said\u2014prevent actions such as taking over television or the prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n
Kaczy\u0144ski also stated that a crime was committed in Smole\u0144sk by the Russian authorities, who\u2014in his opinion\u2014may have been helped by Polish collaborators, noting that this is very probable. He declared that Smole\u0144sk ceremonies will continue to be held and no shouts of the lumpenproletariat will change this, emphasizing that a day of victory will come when everyone who stood behind this crime will be punished. He stated that Russia is out of reach, but those in Poland will be caught and punished.<\/p>\n
Both sympathizers and opponents of PiS gathered at Pi\u0142sudski Square on Monday, with order maintained by the police, including riot control officers, some of whom wore blue vests marked conflict resolution team. These officers are tasked with de-escalation and reducing tension during mass events, and reacted swiftly to individuals showing aggression.<\/p>\n
On April 10, 2010, the Tu-154 aircraft carrying the Polish delegation to the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Katy\u0144 massacre crashed, killing 96 people. The victims included President Lech Kaczy\u0144ski and First Lady Maria Kaczy\u0144ski, government and parliamentary representatives, top military commanders, clergy, and the last President of the Republic of Poland in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
