A small later, he founded his own Club of the circular Table (!), which in the autumn of 1956 evolved in the Emmanuel Mounier Club. During the discussions there he tried to make a common line of Catholic and Communist doctrine. In this way, the cato-left ideology was born, which he promoted while working in the editorial board of “The Common Week”, “Just” and “The Ties”.

In 1957, he co-organized the Catholic Intelligence Club in accordance with the cato-left spirit. From 1961 to 1971, he was an MP for the PRL parliament for the licensed ellipse “Znak”. In 1963 he left for Rome where he and Jerzy Turowicz conspired against Primate Wyszynski at the Second Vatican Council. He opposed the March 1968 pacification of students. At the same time, he was criticized again by the Church. This time it was about a series of articles in the monthly magazine “The Ties”. Discussion of priests in Poland.

In August, he was co-opted to the group of “advisers” of the Interfounded Strike Committee in Gdańsk. He advised workers not to presume a union independent from the authorities. He then served as an expert on the law of NSZZ “Solidarity”.

In January 1981, he entered the Program Council of the Movement and took on the function of editor-in-chief of the "Solidarity Weekly". After martial law was introduced, he was interned. During his little than a year imprisonment, his opposition legend was born. From 1983 he was a close associate of Lech Walesa. He wrote pamphlets calling for the government's dialog with the opposition. In early 1987, the Communists allowed him to leave abroad.

A period later, he agreed to be president of the Council of Ministers.

The appointment by the Sejm of the Prime Minister took place at the request of the first authoritative president of the 3rd Republic – communist criminal Wojciech Jaruzelski.

As Prime Minister, Mazowiecki announced the program thick line or the gentle treatment of communist criminals. It has made them a "normal" political option that could operate freely within a democratic state. This isn't over. Mazowiecki allowed Kiszczak to clean archives, burn organization files, Military Information and safety Service. Under his supervision, the safety defender continued to monitor part of the opposition that did not agree with the fiction of the circular Table.

The grey eminence in the cabinet of the “first non-communist prime minister” was the minister without the portfolio Alexander Hall. With his help, Mazowiecka defended Lenin's monument in fresh Huta in December 1989. A period later, he pacified a crowd who tried to halt the burning of files in the building of the Provincial Committee of PZPR in Gdańsk. Mazowiecki besides had no objections to the pacification by the Civic Militia Prevention Divisions (formerly ZOMO) of the youth protest at the legislature Hall in Warsaw, where the PZPR convention was held.

The changes he supported were apparent due to the fact that there was no mirroring of the administration and the judiciary. On the contrary, the regime's officials have taken up their current position without major obstacles or have moved to the private sector by proprietating themselves to state-owned establishments. Mazowiecki supported the theft sale of national assets under Soros-Sachs-Balcerovich's plan.

His government, thanks to its inept economical policy, started a disgraceful period of demolition of Polish manufacture and agriculture and a string of economical scandals. Among these from 1989 to 1991 can be mentioned e.g. the ruble, fuel, cigarette, FOZZ and ART-B. There has been a extremist decline in the life rate of average Poles.

In February 1990, Mazowiecki went to visit Britain. He refused to meet president Ryszard Kaczorowski there saying: This would be humiliating to president Jaruzelski, my government and the state.. He did not change the abroad policy that was inactive determined by his submission to the Kremlin. He delayed the departure from Poland of units of the russian Army. During his visit to Moscow, his minister Krzysztof Skubiszewski declared the continuation of the Polish-Soviet alliance.

Interestingly, the first abroad guest of the Prime Minister was the KGB chief Vladimir Kriukkov. In addition, Mazowiecki led the German client policy and in a conversation with Chancellor Helmut Kohl did not dare to rise the subject of compensation for Polish losses from the Second planet War.

He competed in the 1990 presidential election and was no longer Prime Minister in early 1991. He co-founded the Democratic Union and entered the Sejm's 1st word of office.

He blocked the posthumous honour of the national heroes Witold Pilecki and August Fieldorf "Nil". In 2010, he became an advisor to president Bronisław Komorowski. On July 10, 2011, during the ceremony in Jedwabne, he read a letter in which he called the Polish Nation the perpetrator of the execution on the judaic population. He did so despite the deficiency of evidence of Poles' guilt.

Tadeusz Mazowiecki is considered a hero of systemic transformation in Poland. Meanwhile, he was a false and vile traitor who never cut himself off from his communist roots. During the period of the Polish People's Republic, he attacked "soldiers cursed" and a legitimate emigration government in London. He led a consistent, winding work aimed at breaking up Polish Catholicism.

He was not the first Prime Minister of the non-communist government but the first Prime Minister of the post-communist agreement, which to this day destroys the state and the Nation of Poland. He agreed with the government of Jaruzelski and Kiszczak, leading to the blocking of decommunization, vetting and judging of communist criminals.

Thanks to Mazowieckie, the PRL officers have taken possession of national assets and thus strengthened, after a fewer years returned to political power. He patronized the transformation of a strategy centrally planned into equally pathological Compradorist capitalism. He started a postcolonial kind of conducting abroad policy. Finally, he spit on Poles accusing them of committing crimes in Jedwabne. Unfortunately, this traitor is inactive considered a Polish national hero.
