WARSAW, Poland (AP) Polish democracy champion and former President Lech Walesa says a victory by Republican Donald Trump in this years U.S. presidential election would bring misfortune to the world.

Walesa said in a short entry on Facebook on Sunday that he does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, but that the matter is too important for the world for him to withhold his views.

I deeply believe that Americans will vote responsibly. In my opinion, I am completely convinced that Trumps election WOULD BE A MISFORTUNE FOR THE U.S. AND THE WORLD, he wrote, using all capital letters.

He did not explain his thinking further.
