Lech Walesa commemorates 1980 August Agreements
The former Polish President Lech Walesa (Center) and Grzegorz Schetyna (Right), the leader of Civic Platform, in front of the Gate No. 2 of the Gdansk Shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, on 31 August 2016. The former President of Poland Lech Walesa took part in the celebrations of the 36th anniversary of the signing of the August Agreements (also knoown as Gdansk Agreements). An accord was reached as a direct result of the strikes that took place in Gdansk in 1980. Workers along the Baltic area went on strike in August 1980 in support of the 21 demands of MKS which eventually led to the creation of Solidarity. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
