Gdańsk: a City of Solidarity and Freedom

Abstract

Only a few cities can claim that they have changed Europe and indeed the World. Gdańsk is privileged to be one of them. It is not a “caprice of history” that the Solidarity movement which, in the end, got the iron curtain torn, was born in this particular place. It is a logical consequence of ten centuries of the collective wisdom of the people that built Gdańsk and the region of Pomerania. The tragic assassination of the Mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz, in 2019, reminds us that these values that city represents – solidarity and freedom – should be recaptured from those who want to push our cities towards other principles. Gdańsk is once again becoming a symbol of the choice we all have to face. Is the city ready to set sail towards a new destination in its stormy history?
