Should a Monument of Smolensk Crash Victims Be Erected in Warsaw?
10 April will be the fifth anniversary of the airplane crash in Smolensk in which 96 people died, including president Lech Kaczynski. The issue of building a monument commemorating victims of that catastrophe returned officially in October last year. The idea of building such a statue is currently supported by 61% of the Poles, three in ten (30%) are against this idea.
Attitude towards building a monument for Smolensk crash victims in Warsaw depends on political orientation. The highest proportion of the monument supporters is among enthusiasts of right-wing parties (68%) and the lowest proportion is among followers of left-wing ideologies.
More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish: „Before 5th Anniversary of Smolensk Air Disaster”.
The data comes from the survey “Current Problems and Events” conducted from 5 to 11 March 2015.
