Head of State Security Office misled Parliament over Orlengate

A majority of the Commission stated that the then State Security Office (UOP) director Zbigniew Siemiątkowski did not tell the truth and concealed many important facts. The opposition stated that Siemiątkowski, who is now the head of the Intelligence Agency, should resign. Members of the Commission decided that in the light of the facts, a dedicated commission should be established to investigate the matter, as with the Rywin case. All but three deputies voted in favor of the motion to this effect. Most probably the Sejm will today vote on whether to establish such a commission. (Rzeczpospolita, p.
