Polish leader Wojciech Jaruzelski has urged members of the ruling Communist Party to emulate the Soviet example and be bolder in criticizing party and government officials, newspapers reported. At a Central Committee meeting last week, Jaruzelski reportedly said: “Soviet comrades criticize openly, publicly and by name, both the heads of some administrative and economic cells, the central level included, and individual members of the party authorities. In our country, it is all too gentle in this respect, all too smooth, with no mentioning of names.”
