Abstract
The Agreement Roundtable signed on April 5, 1989, resulted in the creation of the government of Tadeusz Mazowiecki (September 12, 1989) and the end of communist rule in Poland. However, it should be pointed out that the agreement of the Round Table is currently often criticized. It is claimed, among other things, that the agreement was a form of “unification of the elite” (the term of Jacek Kuroń) in order to obtain financial and political benefits. As a result, the mixed communist-solidarity elite have taken over power in the country, guided solely by their own interests. It is also stressed that the contract has enabled the Communists to retain enormous influence in the special services, state administration, various institutions, in economy and finance. There are many arguments in these arguments. On the other hand, these irregularities have been attributed to the part of the solidarity elites who consider the round table agreements to be persistent. Other parts of the solidarity elite treated the Round Table deals exclusively as tactical action to take power away from the Communists. This goal was realized and was a great success.
