The call for Poland and Germany to unify will further enhance the former
Polish president’s reputation for making frank and sometimes unorthodox
comments. Long retired from active politics but still sporting his trademark
moustache, Mr Walesa makes regular appearances on the news and never shies
away from giving his opinion. But not all his words are taken seriously.
“This is one of Lech Walesa’s exotic ideas,” commented Jozef Oleksy,
a former Polish prime minister. “He has the role of someone who
stimulates ideas, sometimes annoying ideas, but I don’t attach much
importance to this one.”
Earlier this month, Mr Walesa also urged Poland to foster closer ties to
Russia, despite the decades of ill history and animosity between them.
