The Left suspends its campaign for the European Parliament. We know the reason
Katarzyna Kotula, Minister for Equality from the Left, published a statement on social media. She announced that her party was suspending its campaign in the European Parliament elections.
As we read in the statement, “out of a sense of responsibility for the state and the democratic process, in the face of the tragic events at the border and while waiting for explanations, the Left staff decided to suspend the election campaign before the European Parliament elections.”
“We do not want the death of a person and the events at the border to be used politically in the election campaign,” the message continues.
“We express our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased soldier,” it added at the end.
Death of a soldier. Flags at half mast
Let us recall that on Thursday, the General Command of the Armed Forces informed the public about the death of a soldier who was injured by foreigners with a knife near the Polish-Belarusian border at the end of May.
“We regret to inform you that on June 6 in the afternoon at the Military Medical Institute in Warsaw, surrounded by the support of his family and soldiers, a stabbed soldier of the 1st Armored Brigade died,” the statement said.
A few hours later, the General Staff of the Polish Army announced the lowering of state flags on all military units subordinated to the Ministry of National Defense.
“As a sign of mourning for the deceased soldier, by decision of the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, from 6 p.m. today until midnight tomorrow, state flags in all military units subordinated to the Ministry of National Defense will be lowered to half-mast,” we read.
Death of a soldier on the border. Politicians have spoken
The tragic event caused a stir among many famous names. Several politicians posted their condolences on social media.
Mateusz Morawiecki wrote on his profile on the X.com platform (formerly Twitter) that he sympathized with the family of the fallen. “Farewell, Hero,” added the former prime minister.
In turn, Donald Tusk emphasized in his entry that the soldier gave his life defending the border of the Republic of Poland. “The homeland and compatriots will not forget this sacrifice. I express my deepest condolences to his loved ones,” we read in the post posted by the Prime Minister.
