Sejm allows President to publicly name WSI agents

But the date of publication is not known as the report is not ready yet. During a heated debate in Sejm yesterday, SLD deputies said that by giving the president the arbitrary power to pronounce on who broke the law, the bill contravened citizens' constitutional right to due process and the "innocent until proven guilty" principle, while PO deputies argued it will be used as a political tool which will also endanger national security. But coalition deputies backed the bill wholeheartedly, downplaying the threat to civil rights and arguing it will put an end to the kind of major scandals in which current or former WSI officials were implicated in the past. The bill now goes before the Senate. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) R.M.
