SelfDefense requests inquiry to deal with sex scandal

Lepper announced the plan on Sunday to counter an attempt by the daily Gazeta Wyborcza and other media outlets to overthrow the government by publishing information concerning the sexual abuse of women inside SelfDefense, which forms the current ruling coalition with the League of Polish Families (LPR) and Law and Justice (PiS). The spokesperson of ABW Magdalena Stanczyk did not reveal the contents of the request. From unofficial information the request indicates that Gazeta Wyborcza inspired the whole issue in order to kick-start the fall of Self-Defense and the whole ruling coalition.
