– We appealed to the mayor to name the square on Bankowa Street the 100th Anniversary of Independence Square,

– Jan Russ, a councillor of the Bolesławiec County Council and head of Law and Justice in Bolesławiec, tells istotne.pl. As the PiS chairman explains, the aim is to commemorate the anniversary of this event and to create a place on Bankowa where celebrations of all important national holidays could be organised (including 3 May and 11 November). In J. Russ’s view, the site by the defensive walls, where the so-called Smolensk plaque was installed, does not meet these requirements.Jan Russ

The idea for the name of the square on Bankowa came from Law and Justice activist Szymon Pogoda. Jan Russ, meanwhile, came up with the idea of erecting a National Remembrance Monument in the square. – It should be a monument that will not offend anyone and that will unite all Poles, stresses the local PiS leader. – Its construction, however, remains under consideration. We would like the Bolesławiec community to become involved in this initiative.
