We are stunned in disbelief that the Mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz, has died, stabbed by an assailant during a concert organized as part of the 27th edition of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP). A man who became one of the symbols of opposition against racial and religious prejudices in Poland, himself became a victim of hatred. He was one of the mayors who firmly reacted to manifestations of discrimination and supported respect for diversity.
