A row has broken out over the decision to bury Polish President Lech Kaczynski in Wawel cathedral in Krakow - a place reserved for Poland's kings and heroes.

关于将波兰总统卡钦斯基埋葬到克拉科夫瓦维尔主教教堂的决定引发了公众争议，据悉该地专门埋葬波兰的国王和英雄。

Thousands have queued in Warsaw to pay tribute to Lech Kaczynski and his wife

Hundreds have taken to the streets of the southern city in protest at the plan for a second consecutive¹（连续不断的，连贯的） night.

Thousands have joined an internet campaign against it. Mr Kaczynski died in a plane crash on Saturday along with his wife and many senior officials.

A date for a presidential election will be set after the funeral on Sunday.

Acclaimed² Polish film director Andrzej Wajda dubbed³（称为） the burial arrangements "misplaced" and "hastily made as emotions ran high", in an open letter published by the newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza.

"Lech Kaczynski was an ordinary and good man, but there is no reason for him to lie in the Wawel among the kings of Poland and Marshal Jozef Pilsudski [the founder⁴ of modern-day Poland]," he said.

Officials said the site in a crypt（土窖，地下室） close to Marshal Pilsudski was chosen by church leaders and the Kaczynski family, which include Mr Kaczynski's twin, Jaroslaw - the leader of Poland's opposition⁵.

But Mr Wajda said the decision "will spark protests and could cause the deepest splits in Polish society since 1989".

Facebook protest

Hundreds of people staged a protest in front of the residence of Krakow's Archbishop, Stanislaw Dziwisz, on Tuesday evening, carrying banners reading: "Not Krakow, not Wawel", and "Are you sure he is the equal of kings?"

Late on Wednesday a second protest was held, as well as a smaller counter demonstration⁶ in favour of（支持，赞成） the plan.

A Facebook group called "No to the Kaczynskis' burial in Wawel" had attracted more than 26,000 members by Wednesday.

Many world leaders are to attend Sunday's funeral, including US President Barack Obama along with the leaders of Russia, France and Germany.

Polish officials have said that elections for a new president will be held in June.

In a parliamentary document they wrote that there were "two possible dates" - 13 or 20 June.

Poland's acting⁷（代理的，装腔作势的） President, Bronislaw Komorowski, is expected to name the exact date after consulting（咨询，商议） political parties.

The bodies of the presidential couple have been lying in state together at the presidential palace in Warsaw.

They were among 96 people on board the Polish government jet that crashed in heavy fog while trying to land in the Smolensk region of Russia.

They had been travelling to attend a memorial service for Polish military officers and others massacred（残杀） by Stalin's secret police at Katyn in 1940.

Other victims of the crash, whose bodies are believed to have been badly disfigured（损毁，损害） or burnt in the crash, are being identified by forensic⁸（辩论的，法庭的） scientists in Moscow.

A number of the dead have yet to be retrieved⁹（恢复，取回） from the wreckage¹⁰, officials said.

Russian investigators¹¹ believe pilot error was to blame for the crash.

Air traffic controllers who handled the plane have been quoted as saying the Polish crew refused three times to heed¹²（注意，留心） advice to divert to another airport because of poor visibility.
