Solidarno뜻: Lech Walesa's party which struggled for liberty: Polish
flag with the Solidarno뜻 signature on the white stripe.
Luc Baronian, 18 May 1999
"Solidarnosc" ("Solidarity") is not the party, but trade union. The
full name is: Niezalezny Samorzadny Zwiazek Zawodowy "Solidarnosc"
(Independent Self-Governing Trade Union "Solidarity"). Created 1980.
Flag of "Solidarity" is plain white with the signature. White-red bicolor
with signature on white stripe might be used during
anti-communist demonstrations in 1980-es, but was never official flag
of "Solidarity".

Ruch Autonomii 쫖켽ka (Czech: Hnut� autonomie Slezska;
English: Silesian Autonomy Movement)
The homepage of this party was
last updated in 2001, just before the 2001 elections in Poland, where it
presented four candidates as Members of Parliament. The movement wants
the reunion of all Silesias in Poland, Germany and Czechia (8 million inhabitants
on 44.000 km2.)
On its page
with photographs are several flags:
- hor NRW 1:2:1 (probably students union)
- hor YB with CoA in the center (CoA, probably yellow Silesian eagle
on blue, hardly visible) - Landmannschaft's Fahne?
- Blue field with yellow capitals RUCH AUTONOMII 쪳좸KA.
- Blue field with yellow sun; flying through the sun a black swallow.
(that's also the party's logo)
