Life

Oleksy studied at the College of Planning and Statistics in Warsaw and was a member of the Polish United Workers' Party (PVAP) since 1969 . From 1987 to 1989 he held the post of First Party Secretary of the PVAP Voivodeship Committee in Biała Podlaska . In 1989 he became Minister for Cooperation with the Trade Unions . In this function he took part in the round table discussions that transferred Poland from a people 's republic to a parliamentary republic that same year . After the fall of the Berlin Wall , he joined the newly founded Social Democratic Party of the Republic of Poland (SdRP) in 1990 and was its chairman from 1996 to 1997.

From 1993 to 1995 Oleksy was chairman of the Polish parliament as Sejm Marshal . In 1995 he was Prime Minister of Poland , entered in 1996 but returned because he basis of information provided by the interior minister of his government, Andrzej Milczanowski was suspected during the real socialism an agent of the Soviet or Russian secret service to have been. Oleksy denied the allegations. But the Polish Constitutional Court found in 2010 that the evidence gathered against him very well justified Milczanowski's allegations.

From 2001, Oleksy was the representative of the Federation of the Democratic Left , in which the SdRP had meanwhile been absorbed, chairman of the European Commission of the Sejm and between 2004 and 2005 again Sejm Marshal. He resigned after a court found it established at the end of December 2004 that he had been an unofficial employee for the Polish military intelligence service between 1970 and 1978. His successor in office was the previous Foreign Minister Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz . Oleksy denied the allegations made against him.

From 2003 to 2004 Oleksy was deputy chairman of the Federation of Democratic Left and from 2004 to 2005 briefly its chairman until the entire party leadership resigned after an intra-party conflict. At the end of March 2007, Oleksy resigned to forestall a party expulsion process. The reason was the publicly exposed content of a sound recording, on which he had disparaged himself during a private visit to the businessman Aleksander Gudzowaty about party friends, including the former president Aleksander Kwaśniewski and the then party leader Leszek Miller . In 2010 he rejoined the party and was deputy chairman again from 2012 until his death.
