Poland’s stately 18th century polonaise dance garners UNESCO honors

20 Feb 2024  |  entertainment.inquirer.net
Poland's polonaise dance, an 18th-century tradition symbolizing cooperation, reconciliation, and equality, has been recognized by UNESCO as part of the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The dance, which has been performed from aristocratic balls to village celebrations, was once banned by communist authorities but has since been revived and is now a staple at national occasions, pre-graduation balls, and weddings. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage's petition for the dance's inclusion received significant public support. The polonaise, which has inspired composers like Bach and Chopin, is a simple yet expressive dance that continues to unite people during significant events and national anniversaries.

Polish Minister: Border Reinforcement with Belarus Due to Hostile Rhetoric

07 Oct 2023  |  Independent Español
Poland has deployed troops to its border with Belarus in response to perceived destabilizing actions by its pro-Russian neighbor. Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak emphasized the defensive nature of the move, countering claims from Minsk and Moscow that it is hostile. The deployment includes up to 10,000 military and territorial defense personnel. This action comes amid heightened tensions, including a recent incursion by Belarusian helicopters into Polish airspace, and is part of the ruling conservative party's efforts to demonstrate its commitment to national security ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections. The Polish government has invested heavily in military equipment from the US and South Korea, while Russian officials have baselessly accused Poland of seeking to annex parts of Ukraine.
