AWS discusses dismissal of SKL ministers as penalty for party's defection

Members of the board of Solidarity Election Action (AWS) held their first meeting after the defection of Conservative-Peasants Party (SKL). On the agenda were the dismissal of SKL ministers, Defense Minister Bronislaw Komorowski and Agriculture Minister Artur Balazs, from the government. They were defended by Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek and Polish Christian Democrat Alliance (PPChD), who stressed Komorowski's achievements in administering defense policies. Dismissals were sought by Christian National Union (ZChN) and AWS kingpin Marian Krzaklewski, who called SKL's recent defection "treason." (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4), M.T.
