Buzek proposes unification of AWS in single party, Right Alliance resists

Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek has suggested that all the groups making up the Solidarity Election Action (AWS) should be transformed into one party. The idea is supported by politicians from Social Movement (RS) and PPChD, while the Christian National Union (ZChN) has expressed its willingness to cooperate. However, the leaders of the Right Alliance (PP) warn that such a move might lead to the AWS being split into two blocks, which would then compete in the forthcoming elections. Talks on the formation of the new party were to be held by AWS authorities on Thursday evening. The most enthusiastic support for the idea was expressed by representatives of the so-called "cooperative" just before the meeting was due to start. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) M. S.-C.
