    Once again, we pay tribute to and remember those who perished on April 10, 2010—one of the most difficult, tragic, but at the same time one of the most important moments in our history, Polish President Andrzej Duda said in Kraków, southern Poland, on the 14th anniversary of the Smolensk catastrophe.

    On Wednesday morning, Duda commemorated the presidential couple, Lech and Maria Kaczyński, resting in the crypt of Wawel Cathedral, laying a wreath in front of their sarcophagus. He recalled that despite different political opinions and disagreements, the officials who died in the Smolensk catastrophe “traveled together, flying the plane on that tragic day to pay tribute to our heroes, those who were murdered because they fought for a free, independent, sovereign Poland.”
    “Today we remember the Polish officers who were murdered by the Soviets in Katyn, as we remember those who flew on that terrible day, on that horrible Saturday of April 10, 2010, to pay tribute to them,” President Andrzej Duda stressed.

    As he assessed, for Poles, “historical memory—the memory of the heroes of our homeland, which were certainly the Polish officers who were murdered by the Soviets in Katyn—was of fundamental importance.”

    Also on Wednesday, the speakers of the lower and upper houses of parliament, Szymon Hołownia and Małgorzata Kidawa-Blońska, respectively, as well as the defense minister and deputy prime minister, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, and the mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, were among political figures who laid flowers at a monument to the victims at the capital's Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw.

    On April 10, 2010, 96 people died in the crash of the Tu-154 plane near Smolensk, including President Lech Kaczyński and his wife Maria, the last Polish president in exile, Ryszard Kaczorowski, top commanders of the Polish Army, and representatives of the Sejm and Senate.
