Strange events around changes to the gambling law
Newspapers earlier reported that the amendment, which was beneficial for owners of the machines, and hinted at links to the mafia and the criminal underworld, was proposed by Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) Deputy Anita Błochowiak. However, this information was denied by Wagner during an emergency Sunday press conference who repeated that Chlebowski is the responsible person, and quoted Finance Ministry documents to support his argument. According to Chlebowski, the report from the meeting of the sub-commission and commission "Entrepreneurship-Development-Work", as well as from Sejm stenograms, it clearly turns out that he proposed no amendments. The PO Deputy admitted that he only took part in the discussion concerning this issue, and added that the amendment was proposed by Błochowiak and supported by Undersecretary of State in the Finance Ministry Robert Kwaśniak. Newspapers and TVN news also named leading SLD politicians as being connected with the case and threw question marks over their connection between the proposed amendments and organized crime. As events unfold, opposition politicians no longer waiting to hear the news, they have begun to call for call early elections. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, 2, 3)M.M.
