Poland's New President
Staff journalist | 6th August 2010

Komorowski sworn in this morning

Just a few minutes ago, Poland officially welcomed its new president, Bronisław Komorowski. At 10 am 6 August, Komorowski took the presidential oath in front to the National Assembly (a joint session of the Sejm and Senate), and thus took over the highest office in the country.

The ceremony began with a moment of silence for the late President Lech Kaczyński and those who had fallen in the tragedy at Smolensk. It will be followed by a ceremonial mass and a festive ball later in the day.
