Beyond the summit program and the usual meetings between politicians, Morawiecki had a meeting with a group of Spanish reenactors of the Polish Army in World War II, the Historical-Cultural Association Poland First to Fight, founded in 2008 and which has in order to make known the history of the struggle of Poland in defense of freedom, mainly through historical recreations, but also through conferences and exhibitions.

The association published on Monday on its Facebook page a series of photos of the meeting, which was also attended by the Polish Ambassador in Spain, Marzenna Adamczyk.

The Spanish reenactors attended the meeting headed by the president of the association, Alberto Gómez Trujillo, and with various Polish uniforms of World War II (including those worn by Polish personnel who served in the Royal Air Force) and the Polish-Soviet War 1919-1921.
