Crowds show support for Lech Walesa in Gdansk hometown



GDANSK: -- Crowds of people have gathered in Gdansk, the cradle of Poland’s 1980s solidarity movement, to show their support for Lech Walesa.

The former democracy leader and ex-president is facing renewed allegations of having collaborated with the country’s communist-era secret police.

Files recently surfaced suggesting that Walesa was an informer in the 1970s for money, before he founded the Solidarity movement that eventually helped to topple communism. He claims the papers are forged.

The protesters gathered at the Monument of the Fallen Shipyard Workers in Gdansk to show their solidarity with Walesa, after the Institute of National Remembrance released the documents.

Walesa also received support in Warsaw on Saturday. It came as tens of thousands rallied to protest moves by Poland’s three-month conservative government, which they say undermine freedoms and the constitution.

Walesa’s supporters accuse the ruling Law and Justice Part of trying to destroy his reputation for political gain.

In the 1970's in Poland, and if the KGB came to your door and asked you to do something, you agreed or disappeared. That was the way it was there back then. If you wanted special treatment in a hospital, or meat from the meat shop, you brought some chocolates or coffee to give them.

But it is not like he gave out the the secret to the atomic bomb even if he was forced to be a spy. What possible secrets did the KGB need from an electrician at the ship yards? That they are forming a union and he is the one behind that?

I just think it is a way that there present government is trying to disgrace a honorable man for reasons unknown. He obviously still carries a lot of influence with the Polish People and maybe he told them not to vote for the present government. Who knows?

"In the 1970's in Poland, and if the KGB came ......" Total bullshit. This was happening until Stalin and then Bierut (Rotenschwanz) died (https://wzzw.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/bo%C2%ADle%C2%ADslaw-bie%C2%ADrut-agent-nkwd-gru-czy-zwy%C2%ADkla-%E2%80%9Ema%C2%ADtriosz%C2%ADka/) and not after. 1956 was spring with Gomulka a prehistoric imbecil for renew version of still judeocommunism or rather judeosocialism. KGB was in soviet Russia and not Poland. SB was in Poland and spread into all leftist parties and businesses after 1988 master plan of Soros like financial "experts" and not Polish patriots. Walesa did what he is accused, because of his free will under pressure/persuasion. He didn't have enough brain to do something better. What do you expected from electricien? Michnik (brother of Jewish communist criminal and murderer) and many of this minority on the top of Solidarity people were Jews in the steering who manipulated Solidarity movement and Walesa himself. Shame, but good that finally all truth - I hope - will come out from these hated by everybody with brain in the right place judeocommunism times. You can't build democracy on lies and as Adam Mickiewicz said in Pan Tadeusz: "Clean the house brothers..."
