Controversy over IPN list continues

However, according to the head of IPN, Janusz Kurtyka, the list contains names of people who "discuss historical and social issues," but do not have the moral right to do so. "The list cannot be revealed, even if it contains the names of Poles who currently hold public positions. These people have submitted their vetting declarations, unless these have been processed by the court, putting their names on the list will be illegal," announced Stępień. Responding to these words, Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński claimed not publicizing the list would be censorship, as "Poles have the right to this information."
