Poland’s ruling party targeted over ex-communist top member
WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s ruling anti-communist party has faced accusations of a double standard over a prominent role that a communist-era prosecutor has in the party leadership.
Opposition lawmakers on Wednesday asked that Stanislaw Piotrowicz step down as head of Parliament’s justice commission and resign as lawmaker, and asked an ethics commission to punish him for denying facts from his past.
Holding all state power since last year, the Law and Justice party has made it a priority to condemn communism, which was ousted in 1989.
