Yesterday, the city center of Gdańsk was filled with thousands of Gdańsk residents who met to send a "Light for Paweł" to heaven using flashlights and other light sources. The meeting was a renewed tribute to the murdered president of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz, but also a protest against aggression and hatred. 

“Light for Paweł”

The meeting, attended by a thousand Gdańsk residents, started just before 20 p.m. The event took place at the Great Market in Gdańsk. It was at this market, exactly a week ago, that the finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity took place, during which the mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz, was attacked and stabbed several times. All the people gathered that day, who wanted to pay tribute to the murdered man with their presence, stood in silence for a few minutes, shining various light sources into the sky. According to the information provided by the Gdańsk police, over a thousand people sent the "Light for Paweł" message that day.
