Local and regional Europe in mourning after the assassination of the mayor of Gdansk
It is with great sadness that we learned of the assassination of the mayor of Gdańsk, Pawel Adamowicz. The mayor was stabbed on 13 January during a major charity event in Poland.
We extend our sympathy to his family and to the citizens of Gdańsk (Poland). We also share the sentiment of the association of Polish cities, which describes Mr Adamowicz as being "a model of solidarity in practice."
