Continuing to praise Poles, he says people should come to learn about the country, giving the crowd a history lesson about the battle for the city’s Jerusalem Avenue.

He has not mentioned the city’s Jewish ghetto, or the uprising there and some analysts are pointing to his praise of the Polish narrative, which denies Polish complicity in the Holocaust.

“Those heroes remind us that the West was saved with the blood of patriots,” he says of Polish freedom fighters.

“Just as Poland could not be broken, I declare today that the West will never ever be broken, our values will prevail,” he says.

“Let us all fight like the Poles, for family, for freedom, for country and for God,” he adds, concluding his speech.
