The incident took place on October 10 this year in the center of Warsaw near the monument to the victims of the Smolensk crash. Activist Zbigniew Komos accused Kaczyński of assault by punching him twice in the face during the commemoration of the anniversary of the plane crash in Smolensk, Russia, in which the then Polish president and brother of PiS leader Lech Kaczyński died along with 95 other people in 2010.
Regarding the incident, Kaczyński said that Komosa repeatedly carried wreaths with insulting inscriptions to the Warsaw plane crash memorial and that he acted “in self-defense”, the Reuters agency noted.
The crash in dense fog near Smolensk was the worst Polish air disaster since World War II and shook the country. Kaczyński and his supporters are convinced that the crash was not caused by pilot error, as was the official conclusion of the investigation, but by Russian intervention. Moscow denied any involvement in the plane crash.
