PM prepares "judgement day" laws against the old SB

Under the proposed law, former SB officials are to be denied employment in state institutions and schools, their current generous pension entitlements are to be sharply reduced and ongoing criminal investigations against them given fresh impetus. The initiative is an attempt by Law and Justice to shift the focus of public outrage from high-profile cases of collaboration with SB among the former opposition and Church leaders, on to those who created and headed the secret police and are responsible for its actions in the first place.
