"The assassination of the mayor of Gdansk Pawel ADAMOWICZ is the result of the climate of hatred and resentment fueled every day by populist movements and nationalists. It is the responsibility of every democratic conscience to reject any form of inaction or recourse to violence. Each person must be respected and recognized and protected in his rights, an indispensable foundation for a society that wants to be democratic.
We are close to the family of Pawel ADAMOWICZ and those who are fighting in Poland to defend freedom, democracy and rights" declared Piero FASSINO, President of the Socialist Group following the murder of Polish Mayor Pawel ADAMOWICZ.
