Jarosław Kaczyński has announced that he will probably sue the Gazeta Wyborcza daily for an article concerning the directive on, among others, rules for destroying documentation gathered by the Internal Security Agency (ABW).
The PM stressed that he had the right to issue such a directive and added that as early as Thursday he will consult his lawyers about taking the daily to court.
Last weak, the new directive issued by the PM on October 23, two days after the Law and Justice party lost the elections, came into life.
It concerned the “rules and modes of proceeding with archival materials and other documentation at ABW”.
On Wednesday, Gazeta Wyborcza wrote that the directive might open a possibility to get rid of proof of illegal operations conducted by the agency.
Critics of Jaroslaw Kaczynski’s Law and Justice government – which lost the election in Poland on October 21 – claim that it was using the secret and legal services to harass political opponents. (photo: Jakub Szymczuk)
