"Mr President, one of our colleagues and a fellow Member of the European Parliament, Dr Filip Adwent, has passed away. He died together with his parents and daughter following an accident which occurred in unexplained circumstances.
I should like to take this opportunity today to share my memories of our dear colleague, who was a magnificent, honest and good-natured man, as well as a social activist and a patriot. It is fitting that I should say these words before the European Parliament in Strasbourg, as this was the city of his birth and his home for 40 years. I should like to express my sorrow at his death.
I should also like to say that Dr Filip Adwent was a fine example of a believer. He had discovered the priceless evangelical jewel that is love for one’s homeland, and this love filled his life with new value and meaning. He left the fine city of Strasbourg for Poland, motivated by a desire to serve the homeland of his ancestors, and disregarding not only the many objections, but also the distance separating the two countries and the affluent life he led here.
In the belief that life changes but never ends, let us pray that Mr Filip Adwent and those closest to him enjoy eternal life."@en1
