Dark past of Sejm advisor forces his resignation

It has been discovered that Jerzy Stachowicz, an advisor to deputy Jerzy Widacki of the Democratic Party (PD) and an expert of the commission, was an agent of the communist Security Service (SB).

"It is a scandal that in its fight with us the Civic Platform used an SB colonel," said Jacek Kurski of PiS.

PiS has been warning about Stachowicz's past for over a month. Widacki, who nominated Stachowicz, does not feel responsible and blames Zbigniew Wassermann of PiS, who approved his membership.

Stachowicz has now resigned. (Dziennik, pp. 1-2, 4; Rzeczpospolita, p. A3; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 8) K.K.
