Officials at the Wawel Castle - August 2020

On April 10, 2020, the elite of Law and Justice politicians flocked to the Wawel Cathedral on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Smolensk disaster. It was the time of the greatest lockdown during the Coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, PiS politicians did not keep an appropriate distance and did not wear masks. Now the prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into this matter and will check whether there has been a crime. Previously, the prosecutor’s office saw no such need.

Rules are made to be broken by those who hold the power :/

April 10, 2020, was the 10th anniversary of the Smolensk disaster. That day at Wawel Cathedral, at the grave of Lech and Maria Kaczyński, not only President Andrzej Duda appeared, but also a large group of leading PiS politicians. Among them was Prime Minister Beata Szydło, Deputy Prime Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz, Minister of Infrastructure Andrzej Adamczyk, and Deputy Speaker of the Sejm Ryszard Terlecki. The entire delegation appeared at Wawel Castle during the coronavirus pandemic when everyone was advised to stay at home at that time, and there were calls not to visit their relatives’ graves.

They broke the law – where are the consequences?!

The Center for Monitoring Racist and Xenophobic Behavior informed about the possibility of a crime being committed by PiS politicians. Its representatives notified the prosecutor’s office about the possibility of the crime. They referred to the ban on the organization of assemblies in force at that time and the possibility of causing an epidemiological threat.

However, the prosecutor’s office found that there were no grounds for the investigation and refused to initiate it. Now she has changed her mind after the appeal was lodged by representatives of the Center for Monitoring Racist and Xenophobic Behavior.

“The complaint against the refusal to initiate proceedings submitted by the president of the Center, Konrad Dulkowski and the founder, Rafał Gaweł, was accepted. The District Prosecutor’s Office in Kraków considered it justified and decided that an investigation would be conducted into the illegal meeting of politicians associated with PiS and President Andrzej Duda at Wawel, to which occurred during the pandemic,” we can read in the Center’s statement.

The photo report showed that the tomb of the tragically deceased presidential couple was also visited by prominent politicians of Law and Justice. At that time, it was the time of the greatest restrictions in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. You could leave the house only in essential life situations, such as going to work or going to the store to buy food, to the pharmacy or clinic

One of the regulations of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki introduced at that time, inter alia, a ban on the use of areas with public functions and green areas covered with vegetation. According to the 2004 Nature Conservation Act, cemeteries also belong to such areas.

PiS politicians who visited Wawel on April 10, 2020, did not have masks and did not keep a sufficient distance between themselves.

What are your thoughts on this? I, for one, hate it when the Law is many only for some and can be broken by others. Others that are in power and give no flying f*** :/

Yours sincerly,
