It was a Polish version of the ancient Greek agora, a meeting place of all citizens, a locus of a free conversation about our communal and individual future, about all kinds of problems and their solutions. We did not yet have a free state, but we already had something more important than that: a free civil society engaged in discussing the common condition of its members.
而“团结”的作用还不只于此。它是古希腊“集会”在波兰的翻版，是所有公民聚会的场所，是自由探讨公众和个人未来的避风港，可以毫无顾忌地解剖所有问题，探讨解决之道。我们还没有建立真正自由的国家，但我们已经有了更为重要的事物：那就是致力于探讨成员共同处境的自由的公民社团。
