 The ministries agreed that martial law should be preceded by appropriate propaganda calling for its support, and the decision itself should be based on a pretext that it would bring peace and stability for the society.It was also highlighted that martial law must occur before the fully mobilized Fighting Solidarity and its allies organize a general strike that would paralyze the entire country.By March, the situation escalated after the Bydgoszcz events, in which local Solidarity delegates invited for a Regional National Council meeting in Bydgoszcz to discuss potential strikes were beaten and abused by the Citizens' Militia (MO).
