An exhibition dedicated to the history of the "Solidarity" trade union from Poland of 1989 can be admired, starting Tuesday, on the fence of the former Royal Palace.
According to a release from the National Museum of Art of Romania (MNAR), sent on Tuesday to AGERPRES, entitled "The 40th anniversary of the Solidarity Revolution", the exhibition is being prepared in Romanian by the Polish Institute in Bucharest.
"The '40th anniversary of the Solidarity Revolution' can be watched outdoors until September 10, being displayed on the fence of the former Royal Palace, right in the vicinity of Revolution Square. The exhibition is held on the 40th anniversary of the Solidarity union's founding in Poland, which contributed to the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe," the quoted source said.
Between September 10 and 30, the exhibition will be on display on the fence of the Museum of Art Collections on no. 111 Calea Victoriei.
The Independent Trade Union "Solidarity" was officially registered on September 17, 1980, due to a large wave of workers' strikes, and at its peak gathered 10 million Poles. The union gave hope for a dignified, better life in freedom.
The great social movement "Solidarity", led by Lech Walesa, helped people organize and express their wishes, and the country's communist authorities were forced to negotiate and reach agreements with trade unionists. The slogan "There is no freedom without solidarity" became the message of a peaceful revolution and remained in the minds of Poles for years.
Led by "Solidarity" through peaceful methods, the 1989 revolution led to the fall of communism in Poland. It also caused an avalanche that affected the entire so-called Eastern bloc and ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall, and later with the end of Nicolae Ceausescu's dictatorship in Romania.
