Antoni Macierewicz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antoni Macierewicz (born 3 August 1948 in Warsaw) is a Polish right wing politician, vice-minister of national defence in Jarosław Kaczyński government. Former member of Sejm (lower house of Polish parliament), and chairman of the Catholic-National Movement party. In the years 1968-1989 he was a prominent member of the democratic opposition to communist rule, one of the founders of the Workers' Defence Committee (KOR).
He was Minister of Internal Affairs in Jan Olszewski Government (1991-1992).
From July 2006, he was the lead liquidator of the Polish Military Information Services, while from October 2006 he has been the chief of the new restructured military counter-intelligence service. On 16 February 2007 the liquidation report was published, and was widely commented.
In recent years, as a politician, he has presented a strongly right-wing and anti-liberal attitude.
As the radical nationalist, he is not a supporter of Polish presence in the European Union[citation needed] and was a publisher of the radical [1] far-right, apparently anti-Semitic, weekly Głos (Voice). [1].
