Lech Wasa was the founder of Poland 's Solidarity Movement in the 1980s .

His pro-Democracy efforts and those of the movement are credited with accelerating the fall of communism in Poland .

He didn't say a single word about the "war on the mountain" (an infamous internal conflict) caused, and the hated character " Kaczor " ( PiS leader Jarosaw Kaczyski ) was mentioned only once in his surprisingly common sense speech.

Former Polish President Lech Kaczyski will not remain a national hero.

Many such figureheads have already been overthrown, and not only because the political system has changed.

PiS bent over backwards to produce another hero, on whose streets, squares and avenues we can now walk, bumping into its (usually terribly ugly) monuments.
