- Poczta Polska will honor one of the key characters in the contemporary history of Poland and its significant co -creator by broadcasting. Marshal Kornel Morawiecki is a symbol of disadvantage and uncompromising struggle for Polish sovereignty. In his statements he emphasized that the good of our country and the nation is the greatest and indisputable value. This message in a special way close to Poczta Polska, one of the oldest Polish institutions, whose fate for 463 years is inseparably entwined with the history of Poland - emphasizes Tomasz Zdzikot, president of the board of Poczta Polska.

Kornel Morawiecki died in 2019. He was a politician (MP and Speaker of the Sejm Senior of the 8th term) and an anti -communist opposition activist in the PRL. He was a theoretical physicist by profession. In 1982, he founded a "Fighting Solidarity" in Wrocław, an anti -communist underground organization that conducted extensive activities for Polish sovereignty. In 2019, he was awarded the Order of the White Eagle - the oldest and highest state decoration of the Republic of Poland.
