Opposition up in arms as SLD stalls setting up of Sejm Orlengate commission

Despite almost universal demand, the formation of a new Sejm Investigating Commission that would look into the circumstances of keeping former PKN Orlen president Andrzej Modrzejewski in custody and the involvement of Leszek Miller in the affair has been suspended, with the resolution calling for the creation of a so-called Orlengate commission being sent for redrafting. The opposition strongly criticized the negative attitude of Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) to the new investigating commission and suggested the party is playing for time to hide its dirty doings. Konstanty Miodowicz of the Civic Platfom (PO) commented that the "connection between Miller and the arrest is obvious however not proven." (Rzeczpospolita p. A3) M.G.
