Embarrassing snub for President Obama as Polish hero Lech Walesa skips meeting to go to a biblical festival
Poland's former president and Solidarity founder Lech Walesa has snubbed an invitation to meet with President Barack Obama.
Mr Walesa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, had been invited by Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski to attend a gathering of Poland's leading political figures with the U.S. President in Warsaw on Saturday.
'It's difficult to tell journalists what you'd like to say to the president of a superpower. This time I won't tell him, I won't meet him, it doesn't suit me,' Walesa told news station TVN24.
