Following their discussions, Vice Premier Sikorski presented Rubio with a commemorative poster of the “Midday” exhibit from 1989, signed by former President Lech Wałęsa. The poster symbolizes the struggle against the communist system and the protection of democracy, values for which the Solidarity Prize is awarded.
