...make the same declaration. Those who fail to get a clean bill of health from historians at the state archives, known as the Institute of National Remembrance, could be fired. Since the communist era ended, allegations of collaboration with the communist secret police have often been exploited by right-wing, postdissident parties to gain advantage over the the postcommunist left. Some former dissidents, including ex-allies of the Kaczynskis, say the law - expected to be approved by the Polish Senate, which is controlled by the twins' Law and Justice Party and their coalition allies, and coming into effect later this...

The details were confirmed for TIME by an official who was involved, who added a telling coda: Bremer actually liked the new arrangement because he "got to deal with Condi, who had the President's ear."
