Politics in Brief: Opole corruption claims; PiS calls for crims to lose their seats

The left-wing weekly Nie has claimed that Aleksandra Jakubowska had connections with those involved in the Opole corruption case. A secret agreement signed by four Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) members of the Opole city council stating how they would share power after winning elections was allegedly kept by Jakubowska in her safe. Jakubowska denies the allegations. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 4) ... Law and Justice (PiS) has prepared the project of a motion according to which those parliament deputies who are convicted of breaking the law would automatically lose their seats in parliament. The same rules would apply to local government members. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) D.W.
