TVN exposes "typical corruption" according to Lepper

It all started with a TVN program that revealed a discussion between Self-Defense deputy Renata Beger, and Law and Justice's (PiS) Adam Lipinski and Wojciech Mojzesowicz. In order to convince Renata Beger to join the ruling right wing party, Lipinski offered her the position of secretary of state in the Agriculture Ministry, a proposition which was hastily withdrawn after consultations with Prime Minster Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Lipinski, however, also told Beger that the Sejm could create a special fund which would finance the bills of exchange for Self-Defense deputies defecting PiS. Still on the same night, the leaders of the Civic Platform demanded an immediate dissolution of the Sejm and the dismissal of the Prime Minister with the support of the left wing opposition. The battle between the parties is set to continue with PiS planning to create a Sejm committee to investigate the bills of exchange as well as a wiretapping incident inside the Sejm premises. Self-Defense leader Andrzej Lepper called a press conference during which he called the whole incident "typical corruption" and called the PM to resign. Renata Beger in turn has informed the prosecutor about alleged crimes committed by PiS deputies. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.K.
