What happened in Krakow
“Yesterday, like every month, we went to mass at Wawel – a group of people who, as always, try to prevent us from doing so, when they saw me, played a recording of the last moments from the flight to Smolensk, their last seconds before death, when they saw me. They achieved the effect – I am shocked. Where Is there a limit to the fall of humanity?” – wrote Małgorzata Wassermann on Facebook.
PiS politicians at Wawel Castle
Law and Justice politicians come to Wawel on the 18th of every month to take part in Holy Mass. commemorating Lech and Maria Kaczyński buried there. The funeral of the presidential couple took place on April 18, 2010, eight days after the Smolensk disaster. Politicians’ visits are accompanied by pickets organized in front of the castle by both supporters and opponents of the party. There was a lot of shouting and insults, and the police even carried the demonstrators away.

Ah, Krakow! The city where history never sleeps, and neither do the politicians, it seems. They’ve got their routines down so well you’d think they were in a weekly ritual—like a particularly grim episode of “Strictly Come Dancing” but with less rhythm and a lot more shouting. And what’s better than commemorating a tragedy with a good old-fashioned mass? It’s like a morning jog with trendier socks. Only in Poland!
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this fascinating spectacle. We’ve got Małgorzata Wassermann, who walks into Wawel—only to be greeted by a soundbite from a tragic moment in history. Someone’s gone and played the last moments of the flight to Smolensk, and no, it’s not a new domestic violence awareness campaign; they’re just trying to make a point. Shocked? She’s right to be! It’s as if someone turned up to your wedding playing “Last Christmas” as your first dance. Not the best way to set the mood, is it?
Then we have the Law and Justice party, who, bless their cotton socks, meet at Wawel on the 18th of every month, wearing their Sunday best and their “I’m here to cause a scene” hats. They must have a calendar specifically for dramatic religious events. It’s their monthly reminder: “Time to push buttons and cause a ruckus!” Did someone say democratic spirit? Bloody hell! It’s less “unity” and more “unruly”.
And can we talk about these demonstrations? There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned shouting match to spice up your Sunday. Picture it: politicians, picketers, and police all jumbled together in a cacophony of chaos. It’s like an episode of “Gogglebox” but without the snacks and way more dysfunctional! It’s no wonder the police are getting involved—they’re just there to keep the air clear for some serious insults and offer a few complimentary handcuffs.
The media circus around these events is something to behold, too—arguing is how they express affection, right? You’ve got pro-PiS supporters on one side and disgruntled opponents on the other, and somewhere in the middle, a pigeon is trying to find its lunch while trying not to get hit by a protest sign. Honestly, the pigeons are probably the most peaceful creatures in Krakow at this point. “What’s a ‘political demonstration’? I’m just after a crumb here, mate!”
Before I wrap this up, let’s not forget that whole historical context mumbo-jumbo. It’s been well over a decade since the tragic Smolensk plane crash, and it feels like the wounds are still fresh—but maybe that’s the whole point? Use the past to garnish some political fuel. Yummy! Who needs comfort food when you can have a side of outrage with your spirituality?
So, there you have it—the Krakow mass meetings. They are the legally sanctioned shouting matches orchestrated under the guise of remembrance, where people gather, remind each other why they’re angry, and question humanity’s potential to fall lower than a cow at a mooing competition. It’s riveting stuff… must-watch television, if only they had a camera crew!
