Lech Walesa will encourage democracy in Tunesia

President Lech Walesa will lead a Polish delegation to Tunisia with the aim of encouraging the democratic changes. Deputy Foreign Minister Krzysztof Stanowski said that participation in the forum is the beginning of Polish involvement in the democratization of countries in North Africa, especially Tunisia. Lech Walesa will be accompanied by MPs and various consultants, including economists.

"I'm going there as a revolutionary," said Lech Walesa , "the people of Tunisia need our solidarity. I will share my experience but it will be the Tunisian people who will decide if they use these methods”.

The visit of the legendary Solidarity’s leader is a part of the Lech Walesa Institute’s activity that supports democratic transformations in the world.

President Lech Walesa will be in Tunis from 28 to 30 April.
