In Brief: PO after Treasury Min.; Radom 1976

Self-Defense and LPR have declared they continue to back Jasiński, so it is unlikely he will be dismissed. (Gazeta Wyborcza, June 24-25, p.37) ... The city of Radom commemorated the workers protests against price rises in June 1976, which soon turned into political demonstrations calling for democracy. The communist regime cruelly suppressed riots by beating workers in police stations and punishing them with 10-36 months of imprisonment. Many of them lost their health. Today, many of them can hardly make ends meet. Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz declared he would establish a fund for those abused by the communist police in Radom in 1976.
