„The persistent eradication of Lech Wałęsa’s legend. At the pretext of searching the truth the foundation myth of the recent Polish history, i.e. the strike in the Gdańsk shipyard led by Wałęsa is being destructed. Undisputable facts being the evidence of his brave and courageous attitude during the martial law and in the eighties are being twisted, and his role in the history of Poland is being diminished and is subject to suspicions” – write the signatories of the letter in defense of the good name of Lech Wałęsa. Among 230 signatories are the Chairwoman of the Program Board of the Open Republic, members of the Board, President of the Management Board and its members.
