Warsaw - President Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland apologised yesterday for a parody of Pope John Paul II by one of his senior aides, three days after video footage of the incident touched off a firestorm of protest.
"I would like to express my apology and regret if it has hurt somebody, and for the fact that it has been used to sow discord between the President and the Catholic majority in this country," Mr Kwasniewski said, according to the Polish news agency PAP.
