President registers complaints with PM over the handling of his screening

President Aleksander Kwasniewski sent a letter yesterday to Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek, outlining his complaints about the way the State Security Office (UOP) fulfilled its duties during his screening trial, as a presidential candidate. This is the second letter the President has written to the Prime Minister about the case. In the first, Kwasniewski expressed his distrust of the UOP. The Prime Minister replied that he did not see any justification for such strong words. He asked the President to detail his accusations in order to help the UOP Minister coordinator Janusz Palbicki examine the whole situation. In his letter yesterday Kwasniewski repeated the list of accusations presented by the Sejm Commission for Security Services in its statement on Jul. 31. Kwasniewski also asked for a response to the allegations that the UOP was looking for something to harm the President. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 4)
