President Lech Walesa
Former President of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Lech Walesa is probably best known as the leader of the Solidarity movement which led Poland out of Communism and played a significant role in the changing political landscape of Eastern Europe towards the end of the 20th century.
In 1990, he was elected President of the Republic of Poland, a position he held for five years. He has been granted many honorary degrees from universities, including Harvard University and the University of Paris. Other honours include the Medal of Freedom (Philadelphia, U.S.A.); the Award of Free World (Norway); and the European Award of Human Rights.
"Lech Walesa championed reform but he also urged restraint in the methods used to achieve that reform"
