BBC/ Public dissent is growing as people protest the decision to inter recently deceased President Lech Kaczynski along with his wife in a crypt in the Wawel Cathedral in Krakow, which holds the remains of Polish kings and heroes. Famed Polish director Andrzej Wajda said the decision “could cause the deepest splits in Polish society since 1989.” Opposition to the burial plan increased the probability of a state funeral attended by world leaders but marred by protests. “Wawel is the heart of Polishness, and nobody should be buried there, especially President Kaczynski, who was a divisive person. He deserves to be buried with dignity, but not there,” claimed one protestor.
