More heads to roll after Smolensk air crash report. Tupolev 154M. Smolensk Air Base, Russia. Accident occurred April 10, 2010.

Following the Polish government’s report on the Smolensk air disaster and the resignation of Defence Minister Bogdan Klich the GAZETA WYBORCZA daily writes that more dismissals are expected in the Polish Army.

“It’s inevitable and it’s a moral necessity. The new head of Defence Ministry Tomasz Siemoniak and the Prime Minister Donald Tusk are determined to make those responsible for a series of negligence which resulted in the presidential plane’s crash bear the consequences,” an informant from Donald Tusk’s entourage told the daily.

The report published under the auspices of the Interior Minister Jerzy Miller last week, revealed, among others, that 36th Special Aviation Regiment, which was responsible for transporting Polish VIPs, including president Lech Kaczynski, on 10th April, was poorly trained. It is rather unlikely that the whole regiment is dissolved but certainly some heads in the Polish Air Force will roll, concludes the GAZETA WYBORCZA.

The entire report on the Smolensk air disaster will be published at the end of August, the Interior Minister Jerzy Miller told the RZECZPOSPOLITA daily. All the documents, except an annex describing injuries sustained by the victims, will be disclosed. Military men who the annexes to the report are addressed to will have two weeks to raise objections. The Military Prosecutor's Office, which is concerned that some of the Miller’s committee’s findings may hamper the investigation into the causes of the Smolensk air disaster, has already made some reservations about the report. “These are minor reservations. If there are more doubts concerning the report we will stop the publication of the indicated extracts until the investigation is finished,” Jerzy Miller told the RZECZPOSPOLITA.

The same daily publishes a survey on the causes of the Smolensk disaster by MilliwardBrown, which shows that every forth Pole believes that Russians should be blamed for the crash. “The group of Poles who support the Smolensk conspiracy theory, according to which the presidential plane crashed as a result of a plot engineered by Russians, is not of minor importance,” comments the political scientist Jaroslaw Flis from the Jagiellonian University. A different poll by Homo Homini shows that almost half of Poles are not satisfied with the findings of the government committee into the Smolensk air disaster and about thirty percent would support dismissals in the Polish Air Forces, writes RZECZPOSPOLITA.

The DZIENNIK GAZETA PRAWNA writes that the Finance Minister is to send a classified document to all tax offices in the country with the instructions how to select taxpayers who might be concealing the truth about their revenue. Among the blacklisted are those who live beyond their means, who deliberately underrate their incomes or buy expensive cars, houses or yachts even though they report low personal incomes. “If tax offices keep following secret instructions it may arouse taxpayers’ suspicions,” says the tax advisor Jakub Rychlik and adds that the Tax Office should not treat taxpayers as potential suspects. The ministry argues that it is a standard procedure which facilitates the collaboration between separate tax offices.
