Michnik tells court what he "intuitively" felt about Kwiatkowski and Czarzasty

"I paid attention to their body language. When I saw Kwiatkowski before the Commission I knew he was lying. When I saw Czarzasty I saw he was omitting the truth. I have an intuitive feeling which made me look at the facts in a new way," said Michnik. According to him, "the people holding power" who allegedly sent Rywin to offer Michnik a bribe, are the people behind the media bill, namely the former Deputy Culture Minister Aleksandra Jakubowska, Kwiatkowski and Czarzasty. Rywin's lawyers questioned the validity of the cassette recording of the crucial conversation between the accused and Michnik. They reversed the argument and suggested that rather it was Agora, the publisher of Gazeta Wyborcza, who approached Rywin with the proposition to corrupt the media bill.
