-----------------------------------------
This Saturday morning, as I recall, I was at a gathering of members of a housing cooperative in a schoolroom in 1 of the schools. There I appealed to the cooperative members in the forum to avoid being deceived and tricked by cooperative authorities who inactive remember the times of the commune.
At 1 point, during a heated discussion, the president of the cooperative stood up and said she had received a message that “the presidential plane fell flying to Katyń”. The discussion was so heated, I didn't even pay attention to her words. I wasn't even aware of who was flying there, and above all, I didn't realize at all that the plane with the president on board could just drop off; I was convinced that what was what, but specified a plane is so well secured that even as a consequence of the accident, there should be nothing incorrect with passengers. The first awakening came as individual said that most likely everyone, including the President, is dead.
It electrified me. I left this gathering and went home to check on the media what had happened, mainly on TVP, which at the time was not as shabby as today. What I saw made me feel astounded, felt hypnotized for a moment, saw the image and heard the sound, but nothing came to me.
I knew that we had just lost the last part of the Polish elite, which was inactive with specified power; I knew that we lost Poland. I ran out of the home to the florist and bought black ribbons - as a kir for the national flag, I felt that Poles, especially now, must be together. I besides ran to my parent and bought her a kir I put on her flag, then with a trembling voice I said "Poland is gone, we have just lost the remains of Poland and I do not know how long"and at that minute tears stood in my eyes - we hugged.
It was immediately apparent to me that immediately after the crash they all knew they were dead erstwhile the area was not searched.
I turned on the Internet, and I started following it all deeper. The more I knew, the bigger the irregularities “beated the eyes”. Nevertheless, I did not know what had happened (attack, accident, coincidence?), although for politicians from PO it was already "clear", they already knew what had happened. specified an irrational approach only increased my suspicions, and the actions of the then Marshal of the Sejm, Bronisław Komorowski, who on the occasion wanted to take over rapidly (even erstwhile the President's body was not yet found), his entry into the Presidential Palace for the WSI files - it all disgusted me with their disgust and expanding distrust (delicately speaking).
It was only getting worse in this respect.
In the media, there was a immense variation. Until yesterday, dogs were hung on president Kaczyński, for example, due to the fact that his wife gave him sandwiches for the road, he was challenged by potatoes, etc., and present he became, even on TVN, a "state husband". Of this, all intelligent man knew perfectly well, but the hypocrisy of the government struck one more time in sight.
I was going to come to Warsaw to say goodbye to the President's Couple, but my duties, etc., effectively discouraged me. Then I want I'd gone anyway. I felt this especially at the celebrations of the next anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, in which, as all year, I participated in the capital. That is most likely why I became more actively active in defending the cross in Krakowskie Przedmieście, a symbol of the unification of Poles in that place.
Then we won the conflict with the regime, but I knew the fight continued... The fight for Poland and Poles, for our Homeland.
