TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARReuters:
Poland’s ruling centrists said on Wednesday a presidential election was likely to be held on June 20 as protests erupted over the choice of a burial site for President Lech Kaczynski.
Some Poles reacted angrily to plans unveiled on Tuesday to bury Kaczynski and his wife Maria, who were killed in a weekend plane crash, at Wawel Cathedral in Krakow, a place normally reserved for national heroes, poets and kings.

When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
