WARSAW (Reuters) – Poland’s
incoming defence minister, Antoni Macierewicz, has toppled a cabinet,
accused revered politicians of being Soviet-era spies and believes
Moscow is responsible for the plane crash that killed President Lech
Kaczynski and many of his ministers.
More than two decades since the fall of communism, the
67-year-old former dissident and political prisoner also says it is not
possible to govern Poland – a European Union and NATO member – effectively without ridding it of ubiquitous Russian spies.
Critics say he is paranoid and irrational and his appointment this week might complicate Poland’s relations with NATO and EU allies as they grapple with Russia.
Macierewicz believes that Poland’s sovereignty has come
under attack by its former Cold War overlord as recently as in 2010 when
a plane carrying Lech Kaczynski and dozens of top officials crashed in
thick fog in western Russia, killing everyone aboard.
