万花筒 2010-04-12&04-014 追忆波兰总统生平

By most accounts Lech Kaczynski was a popular politician within and outside his country, as evidence by the flow of condolences from foreign leaders and the outpouring of emotion for all the victims of a tragic¹ plane crash, on board was a high level Polish delegation² on its way to Russia, Kaczynski’s wife Maria was among the dead.

The loss shocked all of Portland and reportedly move Labour icon³ and former president Lech Walesa to tears, the archbishop of Warsaw's reaction was pouring in does he said in the crash of presidential plane, the flower of political, social and cultural life died.

This tragedy is beyond comprehension, we were excited and anticipating this remembering ceremony, and then this happens.

Born in 1949 in Warsaw, Kaczynski worked in support of the labor⁴ movement in the 1970s and backed the formation of solidarity⁵ in 1980, his work in government took a step up in 2000 with his appointment as Justice Minister, elected as Warsaw's mayor in 2002, he became popular for his tough stance on corruption⁶ and security attributes the stuck with him throughout his career, but national politics was calling, and in 2005, Lech Kaczynski became the nation's third democratically elected president since the Fall of communism in 1989, Lech Kaczynski and his twin brother formed a political team from 2006 to 2007, when brother Jaroslaw served as Prime Minister. A right-wing conservative President Kaczynski let his personality show through in portions of a CNN interview in 2008, asked how he felt about Portland co-hosting the European football championship in 2012, on the heels of a winless appearance in 2008 competition.

Well, we had a bad message this year, I think I would say the Poland is a peaceful country that everyday life is simple there, this is a country where there is a huge interest in football, and the European football, like the American way.

The trip to Russia was meant to further cement ties between Warsaw and Moscow and ended in tragedy. It may also end up uniting the Polish people as they look for a way forward.
