On May 23, Poland's ex-President Lech Wałęsa, in his interview with Rzeczpospolita, commented on Bill Clinton's recent claim about Poland's wish for "Putin-like leadership" and latest poll showing Law and Justice (PiS) support.
"Bill Clinton told the truth and there is no need for him to apologize to Poles. There are things going on in Poland that should never happen. However, there is not such a big problem with democracy in Poland yet, but everything is moving towards this," Wałęsa proclaimed.
"Mrs. Szydło should apologize to Poles for the fact that her party does things differently than what it promised during the election campaign. Law and Justice party lied to Poles and we need to draw their attention to this," the ex-President continued.
According to Wałęsa, high PiS ratings in polls is the result of the ruling party's election promises. "PLN 500 has been given, so people are waiting for more. [...] When people see they have to pay more than they got, people will move to the opposition side, gathering two million people on the streets of Warsaw," he said.
“Once two million Poles come out to demonstrate, I shall join them. For now I am waiting for a referendum on removing the Law and Justice government," Lech Wałęsa concluded.
