• Parliamentary commission on MPs suicide to start in March
  • 04.02.2008

The commission into the suicide of a leftist MP suspected of corruption deals when she was in the construction ministry will be ready to sit in March.

 

“We received very interesting non-classified materials from the Internal Security Agency,” said Ryszard Kalisz, chairman of the parliamentary committee on the death of Barbara Blida, a Democratic Left Alliance MP who shot herself in April 2007 when the Internal Security Agency entered her house with a warrant to arrest her and search the premises.

 

“We have several dozen volumes of files to look through,” said Kalisz, after the committee’s second session, at which its members met with the Public Prosecutors dealing with Blida’s case.

 

It has been settled which files will be accessible to the members of the commission. According to MP Kalisz, the number is close to 100 volumes.

 

Although the amount of documents is overwhelming, Kalisz assured that the committee will explain Blida’s death as soon as possible. The chairman said that it will start operating at the end of March at the earliest.(mo)
