About Lech Wałęsa

Lech Wałęsa is the legendary leader of the “Solidarity” movement and the author of its victory in 1989 over the communist regime in Poland—his life is inseparably connected with Polish history and Poland’s path to freedom.

The global community recognized his belief in solidarity and commitment to freedom in 1983 when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. On 22 December 1990, Wałęsa was elected the president of free Poland. He remained actively engaged in public life during his presidency and after it, advocating for Poland worldwide.

Today, Lech Wałęsa continues his mission of promoting the idea of solidarity. Traveling worldwide, he speaks about Poland’s bloodless transition towards peace and democracy as a role model for different nations. He calls for a world based on universal values through lectures and dialogue. As a supporter of globalisation and seeing the great potential of modern technologies and global development, he promotes peaceful cooperation between nations in the 21st century.
