100 Years of Polish Independence
The motion
That the Parliament celebrates Polish Independence Day 2018; acknowledges that 11 November will mark the centenary of the restoration of that nation's sovereignty after being partitioned by the German, Russian and Austrian empires for 123 years; admires what it sees as the Polish population's passion during the years of partition in protecting and nurturing their native language, culture and history; believes that they achieved this despite facing sustained oppression and repression and often at the risk to their lives, freedom and property; considers that Poland and Scotland share a lot in common; believes that both countries are highly innovative, contributing many inventions to the world, and notes their shared love of football and beer; commends the people of Poland on building a modern, confident, independent nation, and wishes them a happy and peaceful independence day.
