"Bill Clinton told the truth and there is no need for him to apologise to Poles. There are such things going on in Poland, which should never happen. However, there are no 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 different from what it promised during the election campaign. Law and Justice party lied to Poles and we need to pay their attention to this," ex-President continued. According to Wałęsa, high PiS ratings in poll is the result rulign party's election promises. "PLN 500 have been giving, so people are waiting for more. [...] When people see they have to pay more than they got, people will go 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.
