Gdansk, Poland (AHN) - Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner and Solidarity leader Lech Walesa has lashed out at Poland's current twin leaders, President Lech Kaczynski and Prime Minister Jaroslaw, calling them incompetent and that they were not capable of governing the Central European country.

Walesa, who served as Poland's president from 1990-1995, tells German weekly Der Spiegal that the Kaczynski brothers were 'without the necessary format' and called their style of governing 'embarrassing.'

Walesa also revealed that he earlier fired both brothers from his office because 'I realized they were destroying more than actually doing something constructive.'

The Kaczynski brothers, opposition activists during the communist era, formed their own party in 2001, the Law and Justice Party.

It is reported that governments across Western Europe see the Kaczynskis as prickly, unsophisticated, provincial nationalists.

In his Der Spiegal interview, Walesa encourages his fellow countrymen to 'vote wiser in the future.'
