PM Kaczyński lets his hair down

In an interview for Dziennik, Jarosław Kaczyński spoke about his non-political views. He would like to be perceived as a member of the intelligentsia from Żoliborz (a district of Warsaw). He denies having ever been in favor of imprisoning homosexuals and confirms their right to establish organisations and clubs. Women's liberation is, according to the PM, a positive outcome of the 1968 revolution; since the revolution it has become practice, rather than purely theory. He admits that he knows nothing about rap or hip-hop, but could tolerate Polish jazz musician Krzysztof Komeda. Kaczyński that believes some of the citizens who adjusted to communism should not be treated as outlaws and could be involved in the construction of the new state. He admits having been introduced into oppositional activity by Jan Józef Lipski, a mason. The only issue on which the PM differs from (average) liberal intellectual opinion is in the belief that Father Rydzyk, the controversial priest, is a positive person.
