Poland memorial cross causes religious controversy
Thursday, Aug 12, 2010 Filed Under :Planet Talk Card News
News brought to you by Planet Talk - cheap international calls made easy.
Poland has found itself embroiled in controversy concerning a religious cross that has been erected to commemorate the plane crash that killed president Lech Kaczynski earlier this year.
The cross was put up outside the Presidential Palace four months ago in remembrance of the 96 passengers that died in the accident in western Russia on April 10th.
However, official attempts to remove the cross have prompted sometimes violent protests by Catholic demonstrators and secularists concerned about the implications of a cross in front of such a prominent secular state building.
The differing responses to the cross by Poles will no doubt be reflected in cheap international calls between relatives in the country and abroad.
According to the Independent, a secular protestor told Polish television yesterday that "the cross has no place in front of a presidential palace in a secular state".
News agency DPA has since reported that the newly elected Polish president Bronislaw Komorowski has sought to defuse the row by unveiling a memorial plaque on the side wing of the presidential palace.
