Lepper promises journalists access to documents that prove allegations

Samoobrona leader Andrzej Lepper has said he will allow journalists to see the documents on which he based his corruption accusations against several Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) and Civic Platform (PO) deputies. He added that the materials at his disposal also concern other politicians he had not mentioned during his speech to the Sejm. Lepper explained that he wants journalists to see the documents first as he does not trust the prosecutor. "I think that now Lepper will reveal some documents every two days. Firstly Samoobrona wants to delay the investigation into the case by the prosecutor, and secondly it wants to be in the media spotlight," commented PO deputy Maciej Plazynski. (Rzeczpospolita, p.
