– This is the place where Solidarity was born and where the first strikes broke out. It’s a symbolic place – with these words the President of Poland Andrzej Duda emphasized how important the meeting with Jastrzębie miners was for him when he met with them early morning on 9 July in front of the Zofiówka Section.

Today (30 June) further JSW mines put up banners as part of the campaign under the name “STOP THE HATE! Don’t blacken the miners!” organized by Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa and the JSW Foundation.
