THE GUARDIAN - Friday 18 December 2015
Polish military police have raided a Nato-affiliated
counterintelligence centre in Warsaw in the latest of a series of moves
by the country’s new rightwing government to consolidate its hold on
power.
The raid took place at 1.30am on Friday at the temporary offices of
the Nato Counter Intelligence Centre of Excellence. According to the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper,
senior aides of Antoni Macierewicz, the defence minister, accompanied
by military police, entered the building using a duplicate key.
The centre’s night staff called the director, Col Krzysztof Dusza,
but he was prevented from entering. A defence ministry spokesman said
Dusza had not responded to an order to step down from the post.
Any such change of management was supposed to have been a matter of
consultation with Nato and the Slovak government, which is a partner in
the centre. Neither Nato nor Slovak officials could confirm whether any such consultation had taken place.
