6-Thousands participate in silent march
Thousands of people took part in a silent march through Krakow on Monday evening along with Poland's president and prime minister as the country tries to come to terms with an unprecedented mass shooting, in which a Polish man killed six people on the southern city's main square.
Relations between Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki are tense, but they appear to want a display of national unity over an incident that has shocked Poland and left rival political camps bitterly disputing the killer's motives.
"For Poland, this is always a sign of hope: that while we may hold different views, we are still capable of cooperating, engaging in dialogue, and seeking out what unites us," Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz told TVN24.
March participants followed part of the route the shooter drove while firing and lit memorial candles at the spots where people were killed on Saturday.
