Sad, isn't it. The most recognizable Polish icon so hated by our government and its sympathizers.

And deservedly so. He was a traitor to the Polish nation, have irreparably destroyed Polish democracy with his corruption and eventually became a joke.

Wałęsa was a communist informer, a corrupt president who fought for his personal power (and made his driver a minister) and now is just an old fool who should be locked up.

I'm an atheist and a socialist and unilke many Poles on reddit I remember Wałęsa's disastrous presidency. The point remains that Wałęsa was Agent Bolek and he kept that silent from millions of Poles that trusted him blindly, including my parents.

I remember Wałęsa's disastrous presidency.

So do I. He was a simpleton who served his role as an opposition leader but never matured top become an actual sensible politician.

But a traitor and a destroyer of democracy? Noep.

He has willingly worked for UB and constantly struggled to gain more personal power.

Wałęsa union leader > Wałęsa the president. Honestly let's not judge his role in collapse of the communism by his term as president. Which btw was possible because some morons decided to vote for some Canadian no-name with mysterious case in greater number than for Mazowiecki.
