Moskal barred from White House following Nazi collaboration statements

President of The Congress of American Polonia (KPA), Edward Moskal, has been refused admission to a meeting at the White House. The administration of US president George Bush is quoted as saying, "Mr Moskal is not welcome in the White House as he has disqualified himself by his statements." Earlier Moskal had been widely condemned for accusing the founder and head of Radio Free Europe, Jan Nowak-Jezioranski, of collaborating with the Nazis. Editor-in-chief of the Polonia-published "New Daily", Maciej Wierzynski, wrote in an editorial, "The administration listens to the opinions of KPA, but it is not prepared to have any contact with the KPA' s president. I hope that the decision of the White House will convince the leadership of KPA that Moskal should not hold the position of KPA president." (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.Z.
