President Walesa became an envy and enemy of many people. Some, like Kaczynski's brothers were using him for their own interest and later tried to persecute him. I think in a way Lech Walesa made himself a victim by worried too much about what others think about him. I am glad that he decided to shook his hand with his foes:

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s democracy icon and Nobel Peace laureate Lech Walesa says he wants to “reconcile with foes” before death.
He expressed that sentiment in a tweet late Wednesday addressed to his longtime political foe, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who is Poland’s ruling party leader.
The 74-year-old Walesa, who has a heart pacemaker, said they should both expect to move soon “into eternity” and that he wanted to leave his affairs in order.
He tweeted to ask “Brother Kaczynski” for forgiveness for any past wrongs and offered his own forgiveness. But he touched a raw nerve saying he will forgive Kaczynski’s “greatest meanness” in portraying him as a communist-era collaborator. Walesa denies the allegations.
