La Pologne en Luxembourg

Le mercredi 14 août marque l'anniversaire du déclenchement de la grève au chantier naval de Gdańsk. Le lendemain, le 15 août, marque le 90e anniversaire d'Anna Walentynowicz, militante des syndicats libres, dont le licenciement a été une cause directe de la grève de 1980.

On 10 April 2010, a special TU-154M plane with the President of Poland Lech Kaczyński and the First Lady Maria Kaczyńska on board took off from Warsaw to Smolensk. On that very day the members of the official delegation were to participate in the ceremonies taking place in the Katyn War Cemetery, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the crime committed there. The aircraft carried 96 people, including members of the highest state authorities, representatives of various social circles and religious denominations, high-ranking military commanders and the plane’s crew. All the flight passengers died in the air disaster which took place during landing at the airport near Smolensk.
