Ex Prime Minister confronts Sejm Orlen Commission

He tried to claim that deputies are not trying to tackle the issues that they were appointed to solve, but are rather out on a political witchunt. Despite many traces which lay the finger of guilt at him concerning the arrest of PKN Orlen president Andrzej Modrzejewski and other affairs closely related to the company, Leszek Miller denied all the accusations. He kept on repeating that he was not involved in decision relating to the oil giant, as these were beyond his powers. This would also mean that he was also unable to know about the pressure that the State Security Agency (UOP) was putting on the management board of the firm. Miller's first words to the Commission were very aggressive, "I hear that this Commission is trying to kill leftists with PZPR's roots. I represent this political option and I know that it cannot be killed." (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A7) M.M.
