Former Polish President Lech Walesa says he is supporting opposition leader Donald Tusk’s effort to oust Poland’s conservative government in the country’s parliamentary election next month
Former Polish President Lech Walesa said as turned 80 on Friday that he is supporting opposition leader Donald Tusk’s effort to oust Poland’s conservative government in the country’s parliamentary election next month.
The government, which came to power in 2015. has clashed with the European Union over upholding the rule of law and democratic values, and its policies on social issues have exposed sharp divisions domestically.Walesa personally knows both Tusk, 66, a former Polish prime minister who leads the opposition Civic Coalition, and Law and Justice leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, 74, served as head of Walesa’s presidential office in 1990-91 and was fired from the job.
Walesa said he thinks Kaczynski’s intentions are good but his methods are destructive and “he remains alone with his dictatorship.” But that inspires “wise people” in the opposition to seek better ways, he said on Onet.pl. “I have paid an enormous price for gaining experience,” Walesa said in the interview. “I have lost my family, a normal life, because I was playing at politics, I was fighting” for political change in Poland.
