But a growing number of Poles – about 33 percent according to a recent poll – say they "take into consideration" the possibility that the president was assassinated. Conspiracy theories suggesting an explosion brought the plane down have gained momentum in recent months, mostly among President [Lech] Kacynski's supporters, and continue to polarise the Polish electorate. [...] Kaczynski's brother Jaroslaw, now chairman of the main opposition Law and Justice party, has publicly claimed sabotage brought down [the] aircraft. [Antoni] Macierewicz told Al Jazeera the probe had uncovered evidence that two explosions brought down the aircraft.
A Polish government special commission has reinforced its earlier allegations that the 2010 plane crash that killed President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others in Russia was the result of Moscow's assassination plan.
Although [Jaroslaw] Kaczynski has vowed not to seek revenge on his political opponents, there may be an attempt to conduct a final reckoning of the Smolensk tragedy. Mr Kaczynski has actively encouraged wild conspiracy theories that the plane was brought down by a plot, not by pilot error as both the Russian and two Polish investigations have so far found.
Polish officials have reiterated claims that Russia was behind a 2010 plane crash that killed the country's president. A special government commission has once again alleged that the accident was a result of an assassination plan by Moscow.
– W poniedziałek zostanie przedstawiony raport, który jednoznacznie stwierdza, że przyczyną dramatu smoleńskiego był akt bezprawnej ingerencji, polegający na zniszczeniu samolotu eksplozją – mówił w niedzielę w PR24 przewodniczący podkomisji smoleńskiej Antoni Macierewicz.
Moscow responded immediately to the minister's allegations, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov calling them "unfounded, biased and having nothing to do with real circumstances of this plane crash." [...] Nearly one quarter of Poles believe the air crash was an assassination, according to a poll last year.

"To jest po prostu zdumiewające, że w Polsce jest potężny front, nawet teraz, kiedy wychodzi ludobójstwo Putina, jest potężny front obrony Putina i że on jest także w parlamencie. To jest coś niebywałego. To przypomina najgorsze momenty naszej historii" - ocenił Kaczyński.
- Dzisiaj wiemy co się stało. Mamy tę odpowiedź, zweryfikowaną przez wiele ośrodków. Będzie to przedstawione opinii publicznej w najbliższym czasie. Chciałem powiedzieć to w kolejną rocznicę zbrodni, zamachu - powiedział [Jarosław Kaczyński]
Po wysłuchaniu tych komentarzy głos postanowił zabrać prezes Prawa i Sprawiedliwości Jarosław Kaczyński. - Ja bardzo krótko. Wiedziałem, że tu jest agentura Putina, ale nie wiedziałem, że aż tak liczna - stwierdził i zszedł z mównicy.
But in a 200-page report entitled "Four Year after Smolensk: How the President Died," Antoni Macierewicz, an MP from Law and Justice, a party founded by Lech Kaczynski and his twin brother Jaroslaw, claimed the plane was brought down by an explosion. Mr Macierewicz and Mr Kaczynski have long maintained the president was assassinated, possibly by the Russians, and the present Polish government was involved in a cover-up. [...] A recent opinion poll for the TVN news network found that 61 per cent did not believe a bomb was involved while 25 per cent believed the opposite.
- Ja nie jestem szefem tej komisji, konkretnych dat w tej chwili nie przedstawię. Nie wiem, jaki jest stopień zaawansowania tych prac, które tam nadal trwają - odpowiedział Kaczyński. - Z całą pewnością to nastąpi - zaznaczył.
