Lech Kaczynski

We all know about the unfortunate news about the plane crash who took the lifes of 131 people, including the president of Poland, his wife, and important members of his governments, on a trip to Russia. He was on a trip to commemorate the killing on Russia of hundreds of Polish people and also the improve the relation between Poland and Rusia. But when I was reading the news about the accident, I saw a comment of a person in Poland about his lost president.

"I've never agreed with him, I don't even think he was doing a good job, but after all he was a person."

So who was the person behind the critics?

Lech Kaczynski used to occupy charges in politics before being president, as a pro-democratic and anti-communist. He was elected senator in 1989. From 1992 to 1995, he was the president of the Supreme Chamber of Control. In 2001, he founded along with his brother, the political party "Law and Justice". In 2002, he was elected mayor of the of Warsaw. In 2005, he was elected president, and he occupied the position until his recent death. In his goals during his presidency, were increasing social solidarity, bringing justice for communist crimes, fighting corruption, among others things.

So it's mainly personal the doubts and critics we have of him, but with all that, thousands of people gathered in presidential palace in Varsovia, to commemorate the death of their president.
