In September 1980, an independent trade union called Solidarity was formed and was led by Lech Wałęsa. It was very popular and became the focus of the anti-Communist sentiments of the population. Following brutal repression and economic disaster, the Polish government made a series of unsuccessful reforms. The perestroika and glasnoist policies of Gorbachev eventually led the Polish government to enter talks with Solidarity, which resulted in semi-free elections being held in June 1989. When the popularity of Solidarity was made obvious from the results, the Polish prime minister resigned and a new, non-communist government was sworn in.
