"We've been here for 60 years, and we've never had a problem like this," said the Rev. Adam Pilch, pastor of the Lord's Ascension church on the Polish capital's Pulawska street. "We've kept the city council informed, as the law requires, and explained what we are doing. To say we could rent part of the new building to spies is very hurtful." Interior ministry officials wanted to block the parish construction work, the Zycie Warszawy newspaper reported, because it would "endanger the tele-informational security of a government building" and could be used for spying against the ministry's headquarters.
