It probably hasn’t escaped anyone’s attention that there was a bit of a problem last week in Poland with the death in a plane crash of the president and a whole bunch of his government. It has been the biggest topic of conversation in the media and on the street this week. But one interesting note that may have escaped the western press is that the wives of some of the dead government ministers are requiring public financial contributions to be able to support their families. It seems that as wives they have no access to the bank accounts of their husbands.
I don’t really know how to respond to that.
