I vaguely recall him making a statement comparing Occupy to the Solidarity movement, then taking it back when he found out that occupy was a left-wing movement.
Remember, Walesa gained prominence as an anti-communist during the Reagan years. I'm not too familiar with his politics, but I'm not surprised if he's right-wing.
