Lech Walesa, former president of Poland, was invited to speak at the University of San Diego.
Poland’s former president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa is scheduled to speak at the University of San Diego on the threat of Russia amid its ongoing war on Ukraine. KPBS Education Reporter M.G. Perez spoke with Walesa ahead of the event.
The former president of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize laureate shared his views on the war in Ukraine and Putin’s aggression in the region. The 79-year-old worker’s rights activist suggested NATO nations need to continue to support Ukraine and the Russian people in defeating Putin, and dismantling his corrupt political system.
Walesa first made headlines in the early 1980s when he started the grassroots labor union SOLIDARITY in his homeland of Poland. In just a decade, he helped defeat communism and became the first democratically elected president of his country. He was one of the world leaders to bring down the Iron Curtain.
