Public outrage after Self-Defense Euro candidate kills pedestrian in road tragedy

Jarosław Urban, the leading candidate on the Self-Defense Euro election list in Lublin, who accidently killed a pedestrian last Wednesday while driving his sports car, declared that despite the public outrage, he will not withdraw from the elections. Urban stated that Self-Defense leader Andrzej Lepper personally asked him not to step down from the election. The candidate claimed that he was driving at the speed limit, while witnesses claim that he was driving far too fast. Local residents are furious at the situation and have taken to tearing down Urban's election posters. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) M.M.
