Will Belka put a stop to shady ministerial dealings?

Inspired by Polish Social Democracy (SDPL), Prime Minister Marek Belka is now considering dismissing his deputy ministers who are at the same time Sejm deputies. The SDPL believe that those deputy ministers are focused only on their parties' political fortune. Among the possible candidates to be dismissed are Deputy Finance Minister Wiesław Ciesielski, who helped to secure budget funds to expand the airport in Rzeszów, the constituency he comes from. His friend, a Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) Deputy Grzegorz Tuderek at the same time applied for the possibility to run the investment, as his company Budimex, wants to take part in extending the airport. But these two have something else in common: Tuderek lent Ciesielski zł.130,000. However, Ciesielski sees nothing improper in his conduct. "The most important thing is that I correctly predicted the budget's income," said Ciesielski. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) D.W.
