A leading figure of the Gdańsk-based Liberal Democratic Congress in the early 1990s, Bielecki served as Prime Minister of Poland for most of 1991. In his post-political career, Bielecki served as president of Bank Pekao between 2003 and 2010, and served as the president of the Polish Institute of International Affairs between 2009 and 2015.

Both Tusk and Bielecki have remained close friends and political allies since their days together in Solidarity in the 1980s.

The only area where we are absolute idiots is football!”

Born in Bydgoszcz on 3 May 1951, Bielecki studied sea transport economics at the University of Gdańsk, graduating in 1973. For much of the latter half of the 1970s, Bielecki was employed as an economist at the Center of Heavy Industry, an applied economic research institute in Gdańsk. In 1980, Bielecki joined the Solidarity movement, taking an active role in the movement by providing it with logistical support. As martial law was declared in December 1981 to crush dissidents, Bielecki was arrested and briefly detained by authorities. Recognized for his role in Solidarity, Bielecki was fired from the Center of Heavy Industry and blacklisted from state employment. After eight months of unemployment, Bielecki found a job as a truck driver for an agricultural cooperative, while also secretly remained active in Solidarity by publishing pamphlets and monitoring clandestine police activities for the movement. During a forum held at the London School of Economics in 2009, Bielecki described the difficulty many fellow Solidarity activists faced during the early 1980s. “After martial law, a lot of people—colleagues of mine—were [on] their knees or in regular prison. Unfortunately, 70 percent of them decided to leave the country because they thought, ‘The fight is over. It’s the end. There is no chance for the future.’ And we tried in a hopeless way to stay in the country, in my personal view, mostly not to give up and to fight for pride.”

Within parliament, Bielecki’s hold on the premiership was continually marred with difficulties. With a minority government, Bielecki faced a hostile parliament that time and again defeated the government’s economic and political reforms. Without parliamentary support, President Wałęsa advocated the cabinet to grant itself special powers to rule by decree. However, Bielecki hesitated to grant such powers, instead proposing to parliament a “fast lane” for economic legislation. Yet by June 1991, none of the government’s 27 bills had passed the Sejm. Bielecki offered his resignation to the Sejm, yet his motion was defeated 211–144. Following his defeat, Bielecki pushed for decree powers, though for only the two months prior to the scheduled parliamentary elections in October, with certain legislation being excluded from decrees. While defending his decree proposal as only a temporary solution, Bielecki congruently proposed to grant the presidency special powers, including the right to nominate and dismiss the prime minister and members of the cabinet, as a measure of “preventing democracy from slipping into chaos and anarchy.” Despite gaining half of the Sejm to favor both proposals, Bielecki lacked the two-thirds majority needed to pass either special powers act.
