“November 11 is a perfect day to ask questions about the meaning of independence and the reasons for the fall of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the end of the 18th century,” Tobiasz Bocheński, Voivode of Mazovia, wrote on social media.
Let us celebrate this important anniversary for our homeland as our hearts dictate
– he pointed out.
Regaining independence in 1918 was an extremely long and painful process in which several generations of Poles participated. We had Poles fighting in the Napoleonic Wars, the November Uprising and the January Uprising. We should also think about positivist work. It also means setting up Polish cooperatives, Polish banks and creating different communities
– said Bocheński.
All this, also with the thoughts and actions of Roman Dmowski and Marshal Józef Piłsudski, contributed to regaining independence. This is a lesson for us today
– he pointed out.
