		Orlengate - Was hinter der Affäre steckt
		"Orlengate" zeigt nicht nur eine Fratanisierung von Justiz und Politik, sondern vor allem auch von Tycoons und Spitzenpolitikern.
		Die "Rywinaffäre" und "Orlengate" sind keine Einzelfälle, sie stehen für ein System, das sich seit Mitte der 90er Jahre immer deutlicher ausgeprägt hat und unter den Postkommunisten Miller und Kwaśniewski vervollkommnet worden ist.

		This week it emerged that the bribery allegation may be part of a wider investigation that has already tarnished the reputation of President Kwasniewski of Poland.

		Corruption in government continued to be a primary focus of Polish media, with the "Rywingate" and "Orlengate" scandals predominating.

	Rywin affair - Definition, explanation
		It was the party's deputy Zbigniew Ziobro who had authored the radical minority report the Sejm had passed.
		At the moment (late 2004), the Rywin affair is already being overshadowed by another scandal, which could have even more far-reaching effects: The so-called Orlen affair (afera Orlenu, Orlengate) surrounding the privatization of the largely state-owned oil giant PKN Orlen.
		Against the background of these affairs, right-wing politicians, in particular from the Law and Justice party, are pushing claims to "purge" the (allegedly) inherently corrupt post-1989 "Third Republic" (III Rzeczpospolita) from left-wing and liberal politicians and to replace it with a more authoritative and morally "sound" constitution for a "Fourth Republic".

		Kulczyk's Property Continues to Divide Orlengate Committee - No matter how history judges the overall accomplishments of right wing deputies in the Orlengate committee, one thing surely deserves acknowledgement, if not praise.
		By trying to seize the property of billionaire Jan Kulczyk, they had their left wing colleagues accuse them of bolshevism.
		Jan Kulczyk's attempt to eliminate the representatives of the opposition from the Orlengate committee clearly shows that in the political battle between the left and the right that is taking place in Poland, the businessman identifies himself with the former, and that he would gladly silence those who could ask him some uncomfortable questions.

		(Poland A.M.) Stocks The Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) was buzzing with rumors that Poland's richest man, Jan Kulczyk, who is heavily implicated in the Orlengate controversy, partly through an alleged meeting with a Russian spy, is selling his shares in the oil company.
		The Securities and Exchange Commission is said to be investigating whether Kulczyk had been honest about the amount of Orlen shares he owns because secret service notes on his meeting with Russian spy Vladimir Alganov indicate that he could control more than he admitted publicly.
		Zbigniew Wasserman, the deputy head of the Special Parliamentary Commission investigating the Orlengate scandal, said that the Commission asked the General Prosecutor to look into possible grounds on which to secure Jan Kulczyk's assets.

		Red tape is often a problem and vested interests, cronyism and corruption are common.
		However, the press is increasingly effective in revealing corrupt practices and the publicity surrounding the Rywin and Orlengate scandals may lead to a welcome weakening of the previously strong links between big business and senior politicians.
		The judicial process is generally fair but can be very slow.
