Lepper submits motion to non-existent commission after marketplace incident

Andrzej Lepper submitted a motion to the Sejm's Ethics Commission asking it to investigate whether he broke the law by preventing the closure of a marketplace in Wloclawek. Lepper decided to act after the local authorities in the central Polish city informed the public prosecutor that the Samoobrona leader had committed a crime. Lepper's motion is currently in the keeping of Sejm speaker Marek Borowski, since the Ethics Commission does not yet exist. Its creation has been blocked by the Polish Families League (LPR), who oppose a candidate put forward by the Labor Union (UP). (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 4) M.K.
