SLD senators charge foundation mismanaged zl.200 mn of public money

Three Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) senators are charging the Senate Chancellery and the Polish Commonwealth foundation with abuse of public money reaching as much as zl.200 million. The government-sponsored foundation supports Polish communities in former Soviet Union countries. The three senators, Dorota Kempka, Ryszard Jarzembowski and Tadeusz Slawinski, admitted that they did not try to clarify their doubts with the people whom they are charging with mismanagement. According to the leftist Trybuna daily, a part of the zl.41 million that was meant to be transferred from the Senate Chancellery to the foundation last year ended up being spent on the Presidential campaign of one of the candidates.
