Party "untouchables" - was this the real reason behind ARiMR resignation

The former head of the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture (ARiMR), Jerzy Miller, confirmed that right after taking office, he received a list of Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) and Polish Peasants' Party (PSL) members who should not be touched. The real reason for his dismissal was the fact that he ignored the list and sacked some officials on it. Jerzy Miller has not decided to reveal the list, nor its source, but announced that, "The list is secure, and in case the situation repeats itself, it will be revealed." The former head of ARiMR, not only decided to fire a couple of hundred of SLD and PSL members, but also wanted to liquidate the Agency local offices, which in fact were more useful to the parties which could provide more posts for its people, than for farmers themselves.
