The Polish President And Prime Minister Will Take Part In The March Of Silence In Krakow

The march is dedicated to the memory of those who died in Saturday's attack.

On Monday evening, November 9, a March of Silence will take place in Krakow to honor the memory of those who died during the Saturday’s attack on the Main Market Square. The event will be attended by Polish President Karol Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Participants will begin gathering at 8:00 p.m. at the intersection of the Main Market Square and Slavkovska Street. The march was organized by city authorities following the tragedy. Its purpose is to honor the memory of those who died, express solidarity with the victims, and support their loved ones, according to Onet.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk called on residents to join the event. “Let’s all be together in Kraków today at 8:00 p.m.,” the head of government wrote on social media platform X. Later, city officials confirmed that both the president and the prime minister had accepted the invitation from Kraków Mayor Łukasz Gibala.

The march is intended to be purely symbolic and peaceful. At sites associated with the tragedy, participants will light candles in memory of those who died. According to the mayor of Kraków, no speeches are planned during the event—the organizers want to focus on remembering the victims and showing solidarity with their families.

The tragedy occurred on Saturday. An armed man opened fire on people in the center of Kraków. Six people were killed in the attack, and 16 others were injured. Among the injured were two police officers. The attacker himself died in the hospital on the morning of November 9.

A period of mourning has been declared in Kraków, and a national period of mourning is also in effect across the country in light of the tragedy. The investigation into the circumstances of the attack is ongoing. Investigators are examining, in particular, the perpetrator’s possible motives and the circumstances of the incident.

Even before the start of the March of Silence, Kraków residents and tourists began gathering in the Main Market Square. Throughout the city, people are laying flowers and lighting candles in memory of the victims.
