I was staying far away from Poland when I heard the news about the death of Andrzej Lepper. It was a cynical, uncompromising, quite insolent, but still forthright and artless person. He was very confident of who he is and what he is fighting for. Former vice-prime minister, the marshall of Sejm, minister of agriculture was found dead on August 5th in his party's office in Warsaw. This politician seemed to have very strong personality. I remember very well his speeches (famous: „Balcerowicz must go”), spontanous activity such as blocking roads and everything was done for simple people, to defend the interest of Polish countryside. Even though, was he so strong that it is impossible to do what he had done? It was already ascertained that he was seen alive for a last time on August 6th at 8:30. The body was found at 16:20 by Lepper's son-in-law, half an hour later police and paramedics arrived. The body was examined at 22 o'clock. Why it was 6 hours after it was claimed that it was suicide? Why nobody asked what was happenning with Lepper for almost 8 hours? Who he was meeting with before his death, he said that he had an appointment?
Did the fact that he had anounced a day before that he is planning to start in comming elections had change anything? What kind of information had pushed a man used to hard life to commit such a suprising decision? Are we going to wait another months for the results of the investigation? Making dramatic events blurred is common in Polish politics. We still did not learn who had sent Rywin, it took months to learn how Barbara Blida had died, the history of police comissioner Marek Papała's death still remains unexplained. We have no idea what was the reason of minister Dębski death. There are culprits and witnesses hanging themselves in prisons without any reason. Why? This still remains a secret. What is connecting all these cases? It is undoubtfully Polish politics where happens a lot but its rarely being explained.
