Buzek to mediate between three factions seeking Krzaklewski resignation

Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek has 48 hours to mediate between Solidarnosc and the National Christian Union (ZChN), the Conservative Peasants' Party (SKL), and the Polish Christian Democratic Party (PPChD), all of which want coalition leader Marian Krzaklewski to resign. The ZChN, SKL and PPChD Agreement Commission, consisting of the three parties' leaders, met Tuesday for the first time. They want the commission in the future to become an election committee for the four parties that signed the agreement with Solidarity. In addition, the commission leaders want Buzek to become a permanent member of the group. "I will be talking with Solidarity, because we need Solidarity in our group of parties, but we also need political parties. It is the sum that gives new quality,"said Buzek. (Rzeczpospolita, p.A1)
