President, lower house speaker commemorate 1970 Gdynia tragic events
December 17th, 2018
It is the victims of the December 1970 events who made it possible for Poles today to live once again in an independent and sovereign homeland," President Andrzej Duda wrote in a letter marking the 1970 tragic events in Poland's northern city of Gdynia. The protests, which erupted in cities on the Baltic coast on December 14, 1970 over planned food price hikes, culminated on December 17, when police opened fire on shipyard workers, killing many people going to work. According to official data, in December 1970, 44 people were killed in Poland's northern cities of Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin and Elbl±g, including 18 in Gdynia. Over 1,160 were wounded.
