Leading Civic Democrats attend Lech Kaczynski funeral

Former leader of the right of centre party, the Civic Democrats (ODS), Mirek Topolánek and the leader of the party’s faction in the European Parliament Jan Zahradil, also attended the funeral of the former Polish president. Lech Kaczynski’s Law and Justice Party (PiS) was in the same right of centre grouping in the European Parliament, the European Conservatives and Reformists Group, as the ODS. They shared similar views in particular on the future development of the European Union. The PiS Party was founded by Lech Kaczynski and his twin brother, Jaroslaw.
