Długosz resigns party post and is ready to face the prosecutor

On Friday morning, the Kielce prosecutor requested that the immunity of Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) deputy Henryk Długosz be suspended. Later the same day he voluntarily relinquished his immunity. On Saturday, the SLD Świętokrzyskie regional party accepted his resignation as regional chairman, but Długosz will remains a member of the regional council. "I am at the disposal of the prosecutor, as I never warned anyone. The main reason for the accusation was the note made by Jerzy Suchański, which is a lie," Długosz told journalists on Saturday. He also assured that he made the decision about leaving the post on his own, but had talked about it with Marek Dyduch who did not press him to resign. He also implied that some of the SLD leaders behaved like they were on sledges and were being chased by a herd of wolves, so from time to time they throw someone off the sledges to gain speed and escape the pack.
