Polish President Andrzej Duda said he would sign a law on the National Memory Institute, which would prohibit the wording of the "Polish death camps" and the propaganda of the "Bandera ideology" in the country. This is reported on the page of the head of state on Twitter. "I decided that I will sign the law on the Institute of National Memory, and we will transfer it to the Constitutional Tribunal for further verification," Duda said..

This requires respect for memory, for the feelings of those whose loved ones are lost, and those who are saved and whose terrible memories are memories for the whole world. Duda asserts that the adopted law will not become a barrier to the artistic and scientific spheres.
