    Extractions: A finales de los años sesenta (1967), se trasladó en busca de oportunidades a la región industrial del Báltico, en concreto a la ciudad de Gdansk, donde empezó a trabajar en los astilleros Lenin . Walesa, con innatas cualidades de dirigente, se dedicó desde un primer momento a la actividad sindical: en la protesta obrera de 1970 ya formó parte del Comité de Huelga de su empresa. A partir de este momento, la lucha por los derechos de los trabajadores marcó toda su actividad. Además de ganarse la vida como electricista, prosiguió su actividad sindical y en 1978 intervino activamente en el desarrollo dei Sindicato Libre de la Costa. Cuando estalló la crisis de 1980, Walesa fue elegido presidente del Comité Interempresarial de Huelga. Desde este cargo coordinó la protesta obrera de todo el país y logró que las autoridades aceptasen el Protocolo de veintiún puntos. En virtud de todo ello, sus compañeros de lucha convirtieron a Walesa -un genuino producto de la base en el gran líder nacional de los años ochenta: elegido presidente de " Solidaridad ", el sindicato más fuerte, en el Congreso fundacional de septiembre de 1980 -reelegado un año después-. Fue internado una vez proclamada la Ley marcial 13 de diciembre de 1981. En 1983 recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz y en 1990 gana las elecciones y se alza con la presidencia del país. Desde este cargo ha tratado de mejorar la situación económica y en política exterior acercarse a Estados Unidos. En 1995 volvió a presentar su candidatura pero no salió elegido.

    Extractions: Introduction The Solidarity movement, which began in Gdansk, Poland, served as a frontier in the fall of Eastern European communism. Poland's poor economic and political situation, which had increased since the rise of communism, fueled this revolt. In pursuit of democracy, Poles came together to form "Solidarnosc," or the Solidarity trade union, which fought for equal rights and better conditions for Poles. Although Solidarity faced opposition, it eventually led to the downfall of communism in Poland and also inspired other Soviet satellites to revolt. Thus, the uprisings in Gdansk served a frontier in the fall of the iron curtain throughout Eastern Europe. Top of Page Background The deteriorating economic conditions and the Poles' overall exasperation with communism led the Polish working class to stage as series of demonstrations in 1956,1968,1970 and 1976. However, these revolts were unsuccessful because the Poles weren't united in their fight to end communism. Top of Page This diagram depicts the rising tensions in Poland. The uprisings and revolts the workers performed in 44, 56, 68, 70, 76, and 80 led to the formation of Solidarity.

    Extractions: Lech Walesa (pronounced Vah-wen-sah) was born as the son of a carpenter in a clay hut located in the village of Popow, between Warsaw and Gdansk, Poland, on September 29, 1943. The Second World War was in operation with Nazi Germany being an occupying power. Lech Walesa's father, Boleslaw, was conscripted to dig ditches and died in 1946 from the exposure and beatings he suffered. His mother, Feliksa, seemed to have the most effect on Walesa. The parish priest remembers her as "the wisest woman in the parish." Walesa was only an average student at his parish school and after graduating from the state vocational school in Lipno, where he learned the electrician's trade, worked as a car mechanic at a machine center from 1961 to 1965. He served in the army for two years, rose to the rank of corporal, and in 1967 was employed in the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk as an electrician. Poland has had a rather turbulent and unfortunate history in its position amongst powerful neighbours. Once an extensive country, but one which was apt to suffer serious domestic turbulences, by 1800 Poland had been partitioned out of existence with its former provinces being allocated to the Russian and Austrian empires and to Prussia. At several stages in Poland's history the Roman Catholic Church there has served as a focus through which efforts were made to preserve a Polish, and Catholic, nationality. Although Poland had been reconstituted as an independent state between 1921 and 1939 the aftermath of the Second World War saw a Poland with revised frontiers and under the ideological control of Soviet Russia.

    Extractions: Profile Polish labor union activist, Nobel laureate, and president of Poland (1990-1995), Lech Walesa rose to international fame in August 1980 as the leader of the independent trade union Solidarity. Solidarity played a decisive role in bringing down communism not only in Poland but throughout Eastern and Central Europe. Walesa was one of eight children born into a Catholic worker-peasant family in Popowa, a village between Warsaw, the capital of Poland, and Gdansk, on the Baltic coast. He received a primary education, trained as an electrician in a local agricultural-machinery college, and began work in 1961. In 1967 he left home to find work as an electrician at the huge state-owned Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk. In December 1970 Walesa participated in protests that erupted along the Baltic seaboard after the Polish government imposed drastic increases in food prices. In the months that followed, open debate between Solidarity, the Communist Party, and the Roman Catholic Church blossomed while the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its aging leadership under Leonid Brezhnev looked on anxiously. In Poland the economic situation deteriorated so much that rationing of basic foodstuffs had to be introduced. On December 13, 1981, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, Poland's head of government, declared martial law. Solidarity was banned and Walesa was arrested and interned. He was released in November 1982 and martial law was lifted in July 1983. That December Walesa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, partly to maintain pressure on the Polish authorities. Afraid that he would not be readmitted if he left the country to collect the prize, Walesa remained in Poland. His wife Danuta traveled to Oslo, Norway, on her husband's behalf.

    Extractions: World Service ... Newswatch LANGUAGES Last Updated: Thursday, 25 November, 2004, 14:10 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Profile: Lech Walesa Former Polish president Lech Walesa - who spearheaded the east European anti-communist movement in the 1980s - is in Kiev to try to resolve Ukraine's political crisis. Walesa won less than 1% of the vote in 2000's presidential poll One of the founding members of Poland's Solidarity trade union movement, which emerged to challenge the communist government during strikes in the Gdansk shipyards in August 1980, Mr Walesa came to symbolise the political struggle which led to the collapse of the Soviet bloc. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, and in 1990 was swept to power as the country's post-communist president. But his confrontational style alienated voters, and he often embarrassed the political establishment with his bluntness and lack of sophistication. In 1995 he failed to gain a second term in office. Highs and lows Mr Walesa was born in 1943 in Popowo, Poland, to a carpenter and his wife. He attended primary and vocational school, before he left home at the age of 16 to become an electrician.
