I don't know how, but that was deliberate. The US and EU used the trade union "Solidarity" as a wedge to draw working class people away from the PZPR (Poland's communist party).
It didn't help that Poland's communist leadership wasn't the best, but also they were under a lot of pressure they couldn't resist. They didn't really have the wealth or manpower compared to other socialist states. Poland was one of the first successful test subjects for how to uproot leftism using neoliberalism and it scrambled the Polish population's brains I guess.
Its always funny how much of that bad leadership came from people who wanted to show off their Polish nationalism bona fides. Like it was specifically the ones who wanted to first show they are nothing like the government Stalin helped form, and then wanted to show they are nothing like the Khrushchevite supported government and they will go their own path.
Each era was a nationalistic response to the previous one
