WARSAW, Poland —Solidarity founder Lech Walesa says he will not attend the movement's 30th anniversary session because he is tired and disillusioned with the Polish group's current state.
President Bronislaw Komorowski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk are to attend the session Monday in the Baltic port of Gdynia.
It marks 30 years since the massive freedom movement led by Walesa forced then-ruling communists to sign concessions that eventually led to democratic changes in 1989.
But 66-year-old Walesa, himself a former Polish president, says on his blog that he is tired and can't attend.
He also says he is unhappy with Poland's politics and economy today and with Solidarity itself, which he says is getting too involved in daily politics.
