PM Morawiecki attended the “1920: Grateful to our Heroes” reenactment, saying it teaches ideals about “honor, patriotism, family values, and faith in powers greater than ourselves.”
In an extensive post on social media on the occasion of the 1920 Battle of Warsaw centenary, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki wrote that Poles fought not only to maintain their own freshly achieved independence on the fields in front of Warsaw — they also fought for the freedom of all of Europe.
The battle, which saw Poles defeat the Soviet Red Army, is seen as a major event in Polish history.
The prime minister stressed that Poland needs more modern and attractive events, such as the “1920: Grateful to our Heroes” historical reenactment, in order to teach young generations about the ideals and history which helped Poland survive.
“These ideals are honor, patriotism, family values, and faith in powers greater than ourselves,” he wrote.
