Tusk joins Polish crowds mourning Gdansk mayor
By EUobserver
Thousands of people gathered across Poland on Monday after the fatal stabbing of Gdansk mayor Pawel Adamowicz on stage at a charity concert on Sunday evening. Adamowicz was for 20 years a popular, liberal mayor. EU Council president Donald Tusk, a Gdansk native, joined the crowds and called Adamowicz a "man of Solidarity and freedom" and "a European". No evidence has emerged that the attack was politically motivated.
