Polish Peasants' Party are nothing but rich aristocrats, claims Lepper

Self-Defense (Samoobrona) leader Andrzej Lepper claims that deputies of the Polish Peasants' Party (PSL) are not peasants at all but "rich aristocracy." As an example he gives PSL deputy Zbigniew Komorkowski, accusing him of importing grain at the same time as Polish farmers are incapable of selling their own in the country. Lepper doubts whether Komorkowski's property, valued at zl. 400 million, was acquired legally. Komorkowski is currently placed thirtieth on the list of the country's richest people according to weekly current affairs magazine Wprost. At the same time, Lepper's party also had one of the wealthiest deputies in the Sejm, Ryszard Bonda. The value of his farm, which has made profits of zl. 6.6 million, was estimated at zl. 8.6 million. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.Z.
