Anita Gargas highlights that Fr. Blachnicki did not stand alone as a target of communist intelligence services. She points to the high-ranking officials of the PRL apparatus and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led by Kiszczak at the time, as the key figures guiding these operations. The journalist notes that the focus often lands on the agents while the patrons behind them receive far less attention.
Today’s “Research Magazine”
Tonight at 10:30 PM on TVP1, viewers can watch an episode of Anita Gargas’s Investigative Magazine centered on Jolanta and Andrzej Gontarczyk. The couple was supervised by Fr. Franciszek Blachnicki and met the priest shortly before his sudden death. According to a recent prosecutor’s office disclosure, Blachnicki’s death was not due to natural causes.
As established, Jolanta Gontarczyk, also known as Lange, is a former SB operative. Blachnicki remained connected to leftist and feminist circles up to the end of his life, and in recent years she has collaborated on numerous anti-discrimination projects funded by the city government in the capital.
A former cop dressed as a defender of democracy
The discussion with Anita Gargas extends beyond the current episode of Investigative Magazine to the documentary she created about the circumstances surrounding Fr. Blachnicki’s death.
The program serves as a continuation of a project that began three years ago in Investigative Magazine.
– remarks the interviewee in the wPolityce.pl interview.
Questions were raised about how Jolanta Gontarczyk, aka Lange, could transition from a communist agent to a civic and political activist receiving government subsidies, despite her controversial, anti-Polish activities.
– adds the journalist.
Efforts were made to contact Jolanta Gontarczyk, including a meeting, and tonight’s program will reveal how that interview attempt unfolded.
– emphasizes the journalist.
Viewers are encouraged to watch the program to understand the dynamics between Gontarczyk and her husband, the perceived threat posed by the spy duo, the role in shaping Polonia, their disputes, and how their actions intersected with the broader struggle for Poland’s independence.
Gargas notes that the significance is heightened when someone who is widely considered one of the most effective agents of the Polish People’s Republic operatively presents themselves as a defender of democracy, free speech, and civil liberties.
– seek attention.
Anita Gargas’s film and new clues about Blachnicki’s death
On the documentary, Gargas indicates that it will feature more extensive material than today’s report. The film has been in development for months and will continue for a long time, with new witnesses and findings being sought that investigators from the Institute of National Remembrance are already beginning to review in closed proceedings. Some of these materials were reportedly not included in earlier investigations.
The interviewee explains that fresh documentary evidence will shed light on how Fr. Blachnicki and his mission were undermined, and how the circle surrounding the preacher fractured.
Attention will also be given to additional clues not yet considered, including whether Blachnicki’s status as an opponent of the communist system involved other motives for activities surrounding the movement founder, such as financial factors.
– indicates.
Who ran “Yon” and “Panna”
The journalist highlights another important point:
Jolanta and Andrzej Gontarczyk, known as Panna and Yon, were not the only emissaries from the communist intelligence services connected to Fr. Blachnicki.
— underlines.
The examination also acknowledges those who directed them, including PRL officials and the Interior Ministry leadership under Kiszczak. Much attention has been given to the agents themselves, with comparatively less focus on their principals.
– adds.
Concluding remarks stress the urgency of finishing the film, so the full story can reach the public as soon as possible.
concludes Gargas.
