Lech Walesa No Fan of Chavez

Former Polish President, founder of the Solidarity Freedom Movement and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Lech Walesa has some decidedly counter revolutionary opinions on Hollywood’s favorite communist dictator. From The Houston Chronicle:

Lech Walesa, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former Polish president, said Chavez is offering Venezuelans things “that don’t belong to him.”

“I consider Chavez a demagogue and a populist, who says one thing and does another,” Walesa said at a news conference. Walesa was in Peru to meet with President Alan Garcia and receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Lima.

“There will come a time of truth, and then (Chavez) will have to pay for everything he has done,” Walesa said, speaking in Polish through a Spanish translator.

I’m sure we can look forward to a spate of Hollywood blockbuster films with Polish trade unions as the villains now.
