What allowed for more freedom of expression in Poland in the mid-1980s?

  • The disintegration of the authority of the United Workers’ Party

  • The rise of the Solidarity union

  • The imposition of martial law

  • The fall of the Warsaw Pact

Answer

The disintegration of the authority of the United Workers’ Party allowed for more freedom of expression in Poland in the mid-1980s. This was because the party had previously been in control of all aspects of public life, including the media and education. As the party’s power began to wane, people were able to express their opinions more freely, and the media became more independent.
