"At the round table, which you see being dismantled and carried out of the Presidential Palace, 36 years ago sat various people representing different interests. Some [...] wanted to transfer communist influences [...] into Poland, which was undergoing transformation [...]. Others sat with good intentions," said President Karol Nawrocki in a statement to the media.

"Regardless of how we assess the round table, because academic and scientific discussions, and subsequent publications, are still emerging, one thing is certain: the Presidential Palace is not a place where the round table should still stand. The place where the round table should be is a museum, the Museum of Polish History. We are talking about history, we are returning the round table to history; from 2027, visitors will be able to admire it as a historical exhibit," he continued.

"Post-communism ended in Poland today. Long live free Poland," he added.
