The President started his visit by laying a bouquet of flowers by the Jastrzębie Agreement Monument. – The Zofiówka Section is a special place for each of us, especially this year, when we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the August Agreements, the great victory of 1980 – emphasized the President.

The meeting with the miners by the gate of the Zofiówka Section was informal from the beginning. The President treated the miners heading to the morning shift to sandwiches and coffee. Miner’s had an opportunity to take a photo or exchange a few words with the President.

– The miner’s life starts at the break of dawn. That is why we are here in front of the mine this morning, because the miners start their shift at 6 am. I wanted to meet with you and wish you a good shift and a good day – President Andrzej Duda addressed the miners.
