Gazeta Wyborcza at 10: the progress of Poland since communism
Article Abstract:
Gazeta Wyborcza, launched in 1989, has always supported a united Poland. It did not wish to see aggressive nationalism replacing dominating communist ideology, as happened in other postcommunist countries, and for this reason has always opposed the ideology of ethnic exclusivity. It has supported new relations between states and nations in Central and Eastern Europe, and has participated in Polish-Ukrainian reconciliation. It has campaigned for democracy and human rights at the most basic level, and has supported community issues.
