Bill Clinton speaking tomorrow in Warsaw without a Polish work permit
Warsaw civil servants have had a hard nut to crack ever since they realized
that former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who will speak tomorrow in Warsaw,
has no legal right to work in Poland. Clinton, who will receive at least
$100,000 for his speech on economic globalization, needs a work permit like
every foreigner. Puls Biznesu, the organizer of the event, simply forgot to
apply for a permit. " We haven't received any application in this case, but
I cannot apprehend a former President of the United States and expel him
from the country," complained one of the embarrassed civil servants.
