Screening Court: Walesa alias "Bolek" worked for communist secret-service

The Screening Court has evidence tha former President and current presidential-candidate Lech Walesa was an informer for the communist secret-service. The evidence is a document from the archives of the Interior Ministry containing text in Walesa's handwriting, which shows he consciously collaborated. Walesa says the handwriting is similar to his, but he denies signing the document. The archives also contain secret-police files showing that upon release from prison Walesa willingly agreed to become a secret agent code-named Bolek. The court has subpoenaed former Interior Minister Antoni Macierewicz and the former head of the State Protection Office (UOP) to testify why they included Walesa on the list of former communist informers. If the court proves Walesa was an informer, he will be barred from running as a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections. (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 1) S.M.
