Figure of the former President of the Republic of Poland, late Lech Kaczy\u0144ski, will be commemorated on the initiative of the Electoral Action of Poles in Lithuania – Christian Families Alliance. Today, the factions of EAPL\u2013CFA in the Vilnius region and in the city of Vilnius registered draft resolutions on giving the name of Lech Kaczy\u0144ski to a wide and beautiful square near the Houwalt manor in Mai\u0161iagala and to the street-nook in the centre of Vilnius next to the Gedyminas Avenue.<\/p>\n
