Polish city fights to protect famous symbol from commercial exploitation
Quick Glance: City Museum Advocates for Protection of Iconic Symbol
  • Kraków’s municipal museum has issued an appeal to protect one of the city’s most famous symbols, the Lajkonik, a bearded horse rider supposedly representing 13th-century Mongol invaders.

  • There are differing views on the origin of the Lajkonik. According to a widely held legend, the figure, dressed in "Oriental" clothing, was inspired by the Mongol invasion of Poland in 1240-41 and may have emerged as part of commemorations of the attack.

  • The museum noted that the Lajkonik parade was one of the first entries to be included in Poland’s national list of intangible cultural heritage. The aim of this was in part to "protect our tradition against the use of the Lajkonik character outside the context accepted by the community, often for commercial activities".

  • The museum appealed to all those who care about the history and heritage of Krakow to understand our position, respect the traditional context in which it is cultivated, and maintain appropriate sensitivity.

Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
  • With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.

  • Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.

  • To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.

  • However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.
