Gazeta Wyborcza claims Self-Defense is financed by nazi sympathizer

Self-Defense leader Andrzej Lepper has denied allegations in yesterday's Gazeta Wyborcza which speculated that the party is financed by Jan Kobylański, a Polish businessman who lives in Uruguay. "I did not receive any money from anyone, not from Brazil, Uruguay or Argentina. And above all I would never agree to such a donation. I know the regulations which govern the financing of political parties," announced Lepper. Gazeta Wyborcza journalists said that besides Lepper, Kobylański also sends money to Tadeusz Rydzyk. Allegedly Lepper has already visited the "investor" in Uruguay four times in the past few years. Gazeta Wyborcza describes Jan Kobylański as an anti-semite who fled from Poland after the war with the help of the Odessa organization. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A5) A.K.
