Buzek ready to head AWS federation while Geremek willing to lead UW

Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek has announced that in order to save the coalition he is willing to take up leadership of Solidarity Election Action (AWS) from widely-criticized Marian Krzaklewski. If by Friday no decision has been made on AWS reforms, Conservative-Peasants Party (SKL) could begin establishing a new political structure. Meanwhile, during a regional meeting in Zielona Gora, former Foreign Minister Bronislaw Geremek said he was not excluding the possibility of assuming Freedom Union (UW) leadership. "I have no personal ambitions, but I will not hesitate for a second if the Union votes for me," said Geremek. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A2, Gazeta Wyborcza, p.4 )
