Belka, yet again, says he is preparing to bow out of politics

Belka, who is one of the founders of the recently established Democratic Party (PD) is seriously considering not running in the upcoming parliamentary elections. "I am not really interested in the role of being a deputy in an opposition party, I would not be good in opposition," announced Belka, adding that he has been busy with other matters and has not been playing an active part in forming the PD. One of the most probable reasons behind such an announcement from the Prime Minister is the issue of his file in the National Remembrance Institute (IPN) which was revealed to the Sejm Orlen Commission last week. Following allegations that Belka signed documents with the communist secret services, IPN president Leon Kieres is now considering whether to reveal the contents of the file to the public.
