Poland's Walesa must apologize to rival in slander case
Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland – A Polish court ruled Thursday that Lech Walesa, the anti-communist dissident and former president of Poland, must apologize to the head of Poland's ruling party in a slander case.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the head of the ruling Law and Justice party, sued Walesa for blaming him in social media posts for the 2010 plane crash in Smolensk, Russia, that killed Kaczynski's twin brother, President Lech Kaczynski, and 95 others, including top Polish political and military leaders.

In one of the posts, Walesa alleged that Kaczynski, "guided by bravado," was on the phone pushing for the plane to land in Russia despite the heavy fog. The allegation has sometimes been made by Kaczynski's critics, but no evidence has ever emerged to prove it.

Interesting, what a tragedy that plane crash was. Surreal.

How did the Germans conquer Poland so fast? They marched in backwards and the Polish thought they were leaving.
