Kaczyński issued a police order

Jarosław Kaczyński was appalled by what he saw and destroyed the wreath, which he perceived as a provocation from an opposition supporter. Then 1 of the men stated that the president of the Law and Justice Office was a criminal and destroyed Poland. There's been police intervention. At the request of Kaczyński, who emphasized that he was Minister of Security, the officers identified the opponent of the ruling camp. The president of the Law and Justice Department wanted to know the details of the man who directed strong words towards him. He meant Adam Wiśniewski, editor-in-chief of free-media.pl, who recorded this incident.

– I've informed the police of the violation of the law manifestly, of the destruction, of the demolition of that wreath that was laid here. Police did not take any action on this issue," said TVN24 Wiśniewski.

Exhumation against the will of the families of the victims

The president of PiS was outraged due to the fact that his dead brother was attacked without a pardon. The claim that the Smolensk disaster was caused by the request of Lech Kaczyński to land under bad conditions is simply a hypothesis. This explanation has not yet been verified, but 1 should consider the point of hitting the deceased. Of course, this is 1 side of the medal. It is crucial to be aware that the European Court of Human Rights in September 2018 stated that the removal from the grave of the victims of the April 2010 Smolensk presidential plane crash, against the will of the closest members of the household of the deceased, was a violation of the right to respect for private and household life. Thus, both the rulers and the opposition have already made many, to put it mildly, awkward in their approach to the Smolensk disaster.

Meeting at the pier

Although the feelings of the families of the victims of the disaster, including Jarosław Kaczyński, must no uncertainty be respected, at the same time in public space there is no shortage of voices about instrumentalising this tragedy, utilizing it for political purposes. 1 of the images that so far has been doing quite a few fun online was a photograph of Donald Tusk with Vladimir Putin on the Sopot pier. This was to be a clear proposition for the hard electorate of the ruling camp that Tusk and Putin were partners. specified usage of tragedy in political play is besides reprehensible.

The death of many people who are crucial to you should be an chance for reflection. Building political capital thus seems inappropriate, as does creating innuendos, specified as the 1 concerning Lech Kaczyński. Unfortunately, although many years have passed since the Smolensk disaster, it is inactive not an chance to reflect deeply. On the contrary, it serves to fuel already immense polarization in Polish society.
