Former SLD PM Oleksy denounces his colleagues

In the course of the conversation, Oleksy made some serious allegations implicating key figures including Aleksander Kwasniewski the former president. Oleksy raised doubt about the sources of Kwasniewski's wealth, and said Marek Borowski manipulated his campaign funding accounts when he run for president in 2005. He also made some very critical comments about Leszek Miller, Jerzy Szmajdzinski and Olejniczak himself, and questioned the integrity of the entire political camp around the SLD. Kwasniewski and Borowski vehemently denied the allegations. Kwasniewski called Oleksy, "a cretin and traitor". Oleksy's public apology during an improvised press conference did not help. "Jozef Oleksy said farewell to serious politics with his words," said Olejniczak.(Rzeczpospolita, p. A1, A3; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 8) R.M.
