If any member of the opposition thought that Janusz Kaczmarek and Andrzej Lepper would be the main force to uncover the secrets of PiS’s totalitarian governing, he is now disappointed as the above two are doing everything to lose their credibility. Kaczmarek lost the first point to Ziobro when on 17th August he first stated that 6 years ago he informed the President Lech Kaczyński about his membership in PZPR (Polish United Workers Party - the communist party, reigning 1956-1989), adding that he never denied it and that this information is present in his personal file, held by the Ministry of Justice. Three days later he denied being a member of PZPR on a press conference, and later that day, in Monika Olejnik’s TV show on TVN24 he was shown his personal survey where, in the “Membership in PZPR” box, he wrote “Candidate” (link). His reaction was predictable: “I have no idea, why I wrote that”. We hope that the 6 hours of today’s interrogation in front of the Parliamentary Committee for Special Services turns out to be more fruitful that the last couple of weeks in terms of the information provided by Mr Kaczmarek.

The second point was relatively easier to earn, as today the prosecutor’s office in Warsaw announced that there are no signs of manipulation in the recording, where Lepper claims to have been warned by Ziobro. As well as of course no clues of such warnings. That was also bound to happen; yet not only due to Lepper’s reputation and credibility, but also because of our certainty that the prosecutors won’t take any action against their supervisor… To be continued.
