Stanisław Witek died on April 13, 2024, at the age of 72. In recent years, the husband of the former Speaker of the Sejm has been struggling with illness. In 2018, he won a seat as a Jawor district councilor, which he lost in 2022 due to his health condition. In July last year, he was transferred from the ICU to the palliative ward of the hospital in Legnica.
On Wednesday, in Jawor (Lower Silesia), a crowd of mourners said goodbye to a former anti-communist oppositionist. Elżbieta Witek spoke at the ceremony.
– I am extremely grateful for the kindness of my friends, neighbors, co-workers and everyone. Sometimes you came from so far away to be with me on such a day. I am never alone – said the former Speaker of the Sejm, quoted by “Super Express”.
