Solidarity, the independent Polish trade union, was formally founded when 36 regional unions united under the name Solidarność in 1980. The creation of the trade union marked a major and historic societal change for the country, reports The Guardian.
This isn’t the first instance wherein a light show has been used to show transnational solidarity. The southern municipality of Zermatt in Switzerland broadcasted the Indian flag on the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Alps, in March to show support for India’s efforts in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
