Lech Walesa

From an unemployed electrician to leading Solidarność #startedfromthebottom. Join me in my fight against Communism in Poland.

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

We may have been defeated, but we must stay strong in our beliefs and hope for a better future #NeverSayNever

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

We have suffered a terrible defeat today, December 13, 1981, and everything we have gained has been stripped away

BREAKING: #Solidarnosc leaders and thousands of activists arrested in response to the #OctoberProgram

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

We may have compromised in March, but the #OctoberProgram will not be stopped. Out with the soviets, once and for all #fightback

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

Despite our successes, there must also be compromises to avoid violence. Today, March 27, 1981, is the time for one of those compromises

The workers now have more right than most would have ever thought possible. Today, August 30, is a great day #victory

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

August 31, 1980 will go down in history as the day a soviet bloc country allowed independent trade unions #makingprogress

[Pope John Paul II @PopeJP_2]

The Catholic Church officially supports the fundamental right of workers to free associations in unions which genuinely represent them

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

We have #21demands that cover pay, conditions, and the right to form independent trade unions #letsmakeithappen

[KOR @Official_KOR]

@RealLechWalesa and the #Solidarnosc movement have our utmost support. Together we will fight for a fair and peaceful Poland

[Pope John Paul II @PopeJP_2]

I want to recognize the #Solidarnosc movement for fighting for what is right in Poland

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

We now have a name to stand behind! Our movement is now known as #Solidarnosc

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

Now we go on strike! We're #200factoriesstrong and we have a vision for Poland that will not be stopped

[KOR @Official_KOR]

#Suprise! @RealLechWalesa started the strikes when he reminded a factory director who the people really support

[KOR @Official_KOR]

Two union activists out of power! Fight back for @RealLechWalesa and others! #DemonstrationTime

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

Food price increase again? This is absurd! It's the #turnofthedecade and we will no longer be held down by the Soviets

[Lech Walesa @timplatts]

With the worker's unions, the KOR, and the Pope on our side, we will #fightback #justdoit

[Pope John Paul II @PopeJP_2]

Turnout of 12 million is amazing! I will always stand with you for what is right #PolandTour

[Pope John Paul II @PopeJP_2]

The turn of the decade will bring change for Poland. Together we will stand strong in the face of Soviet control #fightback #wecantstop

[Pope John Paul II @PopeJP_2]

I'm coming on an eight day tour of Poland to preach on human rights and peace #cantwait
