Poland’s ruling nationalists held scaled-down events on Friday to commemorate the 10th anniversary of a plane crash in Russia that killed top politicians and military officers, and they renewed criticism of Moscow’s handling of the disaster.
Senior officials laid wreaths at a monument in the capital Warsaw to honour late president Lech Kaczynski who died in the crash, walking in single file and guarded by police wearing surgical masks to protect them from the coronavirus pandemic.
Many Poles, including Duda, suspect that the crash was not caused by pilot error, as concluded in an official investigation by Poland’s previous centrist government, but by foul play. Poland’s foreign ministry said in a statement that it had renewed demands that Moscow returned the wreckage of the aging Tupolev aircraft.
PiS has used the crash as a central plank of its campaign against the centrist opposition, the Civic Platform , which ruled Poland for eight years until 2015.
