Poland in shock


“This is the most tragic event in the history of Poland outside wartime,” Tusk said in a televised speech. “Such a dramatic event is unprecedented in the modern world.”

A few days ago the Polisn President Lech Kacynski and the central bank Governor Slawormir Skryzpek died when their plane crashed in Russia when they were coming from a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the massacre made to Polish officers .All 96 people on board were killed.

The thing that proceeds in this case is so establish a temporary president for Poland and in two weeks call for elections. The problem here is that two candidates for president are dead along with the majority of the leaders of the opposition party.

I think it will be harder than politicians though to choose a new president for Poland.

I’ve seen in the newspapers that by know things will be like this: A deputy governor of the central bank will be temporary governing; and in April 12 there will be a meeting to discuss how things should proceed for the next elections.

People from Poland are in shock and we can prove it by the way they are acting. In front of the presidential palace thousands of people are lighting candles and praying. Churches around the whole country announced special services to pray for their deaths.

I think the peoples reaction is normal, I really wouldn’t know how to act if the president along with half of the gabinet. I would totally panick cause I wouldn’t know how things would be working nor what will happen to us.

Tragedy for Poland

Unfortunately, we never know when an accident is going to occur, and even less, who is going to take the consequences of unlucky acts, but that's life, when it's time, it's time, id doesn't matter who you are or where you are.
Now, Poland has a feeling of sadness, their president, Lech kaczynski, died in a plane crash when he was traveling to Russia, to conmemorate the deaths of thousand of polish people by the secret police of Stalin, in the woods of Katyn, also in an attemp of rising the level of reconciliation between Russia and Poland.

The crash took place in the city Smolensk, they try to land because of the intense fog, but accidents happen. There was 131 people who died in the accident, including Kaczynski's wife, and members of his government. The US president, Barrack Obama, expressed his condolences, as others leaders of the world, and he said that Kaczynski was a leader who was admired in the US for promoting freedom and human dignity, also for being one of the responsibles for the rise of democracy in his country.

The world showed respect for the tragedy, for example, Kaczynski was planning to attend the great match between Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, so the people in the stadium had a minuto of silence because of the deaths occurred, and the players carried a black bracelet in memory those who suffered the consequences of the accident.
