Józef Oleksy [ˈjuzɛf ɔˈlɛksɨ]
(
listen)
(born 22 June 1946 in Nowy Sącz) is a post-communist Polish politician, former
chairman of Democratic Left Alliance
(Sojusz Lewicy Demokratycznej, SLD).
From 1968 to 1990 he was a member of the communist Polish United Workers' Party. Between April 21, 2004 and January 5, 2005 he was the speaker (marszałek) of the Sejm, lower house of Polish parliament. He is also a former Minister of Internal Affairs, and was the Prime Minister of Poland from 1995 until 1996, when he resigned due to long-term connections to KGB officer Vladimir Alganov.
Oleksy admitted the relationship, but denied knowing about Alganov's KGB activities. Andrzej Milczanowski said that Oleksy had passed classified documents to Alganov from the 1980s (when Oleksy was Minister of Internal Affairs) until he became Prime Minister.[1]

The Oleksy tapes, revealing most uncomplimentary opinions of members of the post communist Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) by Poland's former Prime Minister and one of the leaders of the grouping may lead to general investigation. The tapes which "leaked" to the media on 22 March 2007 are a record of a private conversation Jozef Oleksy had with one of Poland's richest businessmen Aleksander Gudzowaty.
Some Polish analysts point that Gudzowaty staged meetings with leftists politicians to record their conversations. The tapes suggest corruption in the SLD party. Oleksy accused former president Aleksander Kwaśniewski of illegal financial procedures, spoke very harshly of then SLD leader Wojciech Olejniczak and several other members of the party.
Jozef Oleksy has publicly apologised for his remarks in what he said was a strictly private conversation. SLD leaders and those mentioned in the tapes are considering to take legal action against Jozef Oleksy.
