Warsaw Voice - LPR Against Macierewicz (192 words)
The League of Polish Families (LPR) appealed to the prime minister Oct. 5 to dismiss Antoni Macierewicz, who was appointed a day earlier as head of the Military Counterintelligence Service.
"This is inexcusable in politics because it harms the authority of the state and undermines citizens' confidence in state institutions." Wierzejski noted that in 2005 Macierewicz formed the Patriotic Movement election committee, which garnered 1.05 percent of the vote.
Marek Kuchciński, head of the PiS parliamentary caucus, said that Macierewicz's activities to date show that he is a "tough, effective, firm and courageous politician." He added that Wierzejski's opinions should be seriously discussed within the ruling coalition.
Warsaw Voice - Macierewicz Strikes Again (257 words)
Macierewicz mentioned no names, saying only that most of the ministers were in Moscow's pocket.
According to Macierewicz, these spying ties might have influenced the publishing of an open letter signed by all of the previous foreign ministers a few weeks ago.
He did this so that Macierewicz might clarify the sources of his information concerning the past ministers' subversive activities, as demanded by politicians appalled at his statement.
