"Mr President, at this time we are saying our farewells to the late Ryszard Kapuściński, one of the greatest writers of modern times. In his reports from every corner of the world, and indeed throughout the whole of his work, Ryszard Kapuściński told the truth about the world in the second half of the 20th century and the start of the present one. His books record his testimony of the end of colonialism in the late sixties, the fall of the dictatorships in the eighties and both the bright and dark sides of the globalisation we are now experiencing.
Ryszard Kapuściński was a model reporter and thinker; a journalist committed to the poor and oppressed. He was a free-thinking intellectual, unfettered by any power system. He consistently defended freedom and democracy – in Latin America, Africa, Ethiopia, Iran and Poland. His presence at the Gdańsk shipyard during the 1980 general strike demonstrated his solidarity with the Polish workers’ struggle for trade union rights and democracy. Polish and European culture are the poorer for the passing of Ryszard Kapuściński."@en1
