Poland: Officials Quit Over Scandal
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/11/world/europe/poland-officials-quit-over-scandal.html Version 0 of 1. Four government ministers and the speaker of Parliament tendered their resignations on Wednesday amid a revived 2014 scandal over secret recordings made of them and other officials. The officials were secretly taped during private meetings in Warsaw restaurants in 2013 and 2014. The tapes were leaked to a magazine and published, and Poles were angered that politicians, lobbyists and business people were debating deals and promotions while dining over baby lobster. An investigation into the illegal recordings is still underway. The scandal was revived this week after classified files from the investigation were leaked on Facebook. |
