Warsaw’s Palace of Culture and Science will once again be illuminated in the white-red-white colours of the Belarusian national flag on 9 August. The decision was taken by Warsaw Mayor Rafa\u0142 Trzaskowski<\/b><\/strong> in response to a request from Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet and Head of the National Anti-Crisis Management Pavel Latushka<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From 6:00 p.m. until midnight on 9 August, the fa\u00e7ade of the building will be lit in the colours of Belarus’ national flag, the United Transitional Cabinet’s press service said<\/a>. The event marks the sixth anniversary of the start of the mass protests in Belarus following the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

“We would like to inform you that the Mayor has approved the illumination of the fa\u00e7ade of the Palace of Culture and Science in the colours of a free Belarus,”<\/i><\/em> the official response from Warsaw City Hall said.<\/p>\n

Pavel Latushka thanked the mayor of Warsaw for the decision, describing it as a symbolic but important gesture of support.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to such attention, we feel that the cause of a free Belarus remains important for Poland and for Warsaw,”<\/i><\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

“We deeply appreciate the support that Poland has provided to the Belarusian people over these six years \u2014 the darkest and most difficult period in the history of independent Belarus. At a time when Belarusians face unprecedented repression every day, with its scale showing no sign of diminishing, Poland and the Polish people have demonstrated what it means to be a true neighbour,”<\/i><\/em> the politician added.<\/p>\n

Later that day, a rally marking the sixth anniversary of the 2020 election is scheduled to take place in central Warsaw. It will begin at 6:00 p.m. at the Nicolaus Copernicus Monument. Organisers are also inviting participants to register for the New Belarus conference<\/a>, which will be held in the Polish capital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
