Former PM changes his story over bugging allegation

He also earlier declared that he does not exclude that he might also have been under surveillance by the secret services. "We live in the world of Orwell's 1984 and it is worth being aware of it," said Marcinkiewicz. "The fact that the ex PM is telling such stories is sad, because he owes a lot to PiS," commented Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński. Meanwhile, just a few hours later Marcinkiewicz withdrew his announcements claiming that he never said he was bugged by the secret services. He also said that he made a decision not to run in the upcoming Parliamentary elections, although he did receive offers from both PO and PSL. No proposition came from PiS.
