MP Litewka Killed in Traffic Collision
MP Łukasz Litewka died in a tragic accident. The incident occurred on Thursday in Dąbrowa Górnicza, where he was hit by a passenger car while riding a bicycle.
The accident took place after 1:00 PM on Kazimierzowska Street, which connects Dąbrowa Górnicza and Sosnowiec. The 36-year-old politician was struck by a passenger vehicle at that location.
Tributes from Political Colleagues
“Today, Poland has lost a man with a big, open heart and a politician dedicated to fighting for the rights of the weakest,” read a statement on the Left party’s X profile. “Łukasz was the embodiment of goodness.”
Marshal of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, wrote: “MP. Friend. Rest in Peace. My thoughts are with Łukasz’s family.” Szymon Hołownia stated, “There are no words. There are no words…”
Remembered for Social Engagement
Europoseł Krzysztof Brejza described Litewka as a “social activist, a great lover of people and animals, and extremely involved in the affairs of his constituents.”
Planned Interview Cut Short
A journalist from Gazeta Prawna recalled discussing a potential interview with Litewka just days before his death. He had initially hesitated, concerned about negative media coverage, but ultimately agreed to discuss his ambitions and plans for Poland.
The meeting was scheduled for after the May holiday, but will now never take place.
Final Thoughts
“He left behind so much good, turned so many tears into joy, peace, and hope. So many of us, supporting his fundraising efforts, helped him to become a little better people.”
