Jaroslaw Kaczynski Opposition PiS party leader, came out with some very strong language for his political rivals at a press conference, Friday, commenting the decision to remove the cross commemorating the Smolensk victims from outside the Presidential Palace.
The cross was placed there by Polish scouts in honor of the late President Lech Kaczyński, Jaroslaw’s twin brother, who died in the April 10 Smolensk plane crash tragedy along the First Lady Maria Kaczynska and 95 other high-ranking officials.
President-elect Bronisław Komorowski had recently suggested that the cross should be moved from the front of the Presidential Palace to another location, such as a cemetery or church.
Kaczynski said the cross should only be removed once a monument is put in its place.
Anyone who thinks otherwise, he added, is committing “a serious breach of morality.”
“Let Komorowski have the courage to say that he is on the same side as [Polish leftist politician Grzegorz] Napieralski and [Spain's socialist Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez] Zapatero,” Kaczyński said, implying that President-elect Komorowski was anti-Church.
