Solidarity Emerges as Poland’s New Byword of Change
Poles embrace the Solidarity movement as the emblematic force reshaping Poland since the summer strike wave. The union, credited with massive grassroots backing, dominates banners, pins, posters, and slogans across Warsaw and beyond. Lech Walesa signaled the movement’s title and resolve as strikes ended and open reporting increased. The movement claims broad support among about ten million Poles, though precise figures are scarce. At its Warsaw headquarters crowds and activity illustrate a rising social force challenging decades of communist rule.
