Abstract

Political discussion of the martial law is the cause of disputes over the correctness of its introduction. Despite the differences in views, it should instead be an attempt at mutual understanding and national unity. Participants in public debate should show understanding of the other party’s views and high personal culture, which does not always go hand in hand with the theses expressed. However, many still show that it is worth participating in such a social discussion. This may contribute to expanding the historical knowledge of Polish society. The article contains a discussion of selected leading representatives from the world of science and journalism. The introduction of martial law is, according to many, one of the most important events in Poland after World War II.
