Description:
This document is a transcript of a speech given by the general secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party (PUWP), Stanisław Kania. He discusses the main causes of the crisis in Poland, which he says are to be found in the central leadership of the PUWP and in the discontent of the working class. He mentions the Solidarity trade union and the Catholic Church, which are defending the interests of the workers. Kania argues that the political measures taken for solving the strike-type conflicts were appropriate, as they have not given rise to more demonstrations. He also makes references to the economic situation in Poland. Collection: Romania and the W'Pact
