Walesa Pleased by Meeting With Polish Officials
Lech Walesa met for four hours with government officials today and stuck to his position that “there is no freedom without Solidarity.”
Walesa, chairman of the banned independent union movement, and Interior Minister Gen. Czeslaw Kiszczak agreed to continue working toward an early start of talks on the future of Poland.
“The problems are very difficult but the atmosphere is encouraging,” a smiling Walesa told reporters after his second meeting with senior government officials in more than six years.
Kiszczak and Walesa scheduled another meeting for Friday with an expanded group of people to agree on topics, composition and the work schedule for the meeting, the state-run PAP news service said.
