SLD to create FOZZgate commission?

Deputies from the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) plan to create another Sejm commission to deal with the affair of the Foreign Debt Servicing Fund (FOZZ). The idea was brought into existence following testimony delivered by Anatol Lawina, a former worker at the Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK), who revealed that high-ranking state officials had been bribed during the FOZZ trial. He also partially confirmed speculation that Porozumienie Centrum, a former party of the Kaczyński brothers, had been financed from FOZZ funds. SLD member Bogdan Lewandowski, a deputy chairman of the Rywin Investigation Commission, claimed that the FOZZ affair is much more serious than Rywingate. Nevertheless, deputies from Law and Justice (PiS) see the idea as an attack on the PiS leaders, the Kaczyński brothers, in the run-up to the parliamentary electoral campaign. Jarosław Kaczyński undermined the credibility of Lawina's testimony. "How could he know this? How can a NIK worker know of the money that is said to flow with no documents or confirmations?" wondered Kaczyński. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) K.Ż.
