Commissioner may be introduced to administrate Warsaw's gmina Centrum

A motion to introduce a commissioner in Warsaw' s gmina Centrum was put forth by Antoni Pietkiewicz, Mazowsze voivod, before the Interior Ministry and is to be presented to the Prime Minister following the judicial review today. The move follows the debacle to choose the president of the biggest and wealthiest borough within a given six months. Although the president was voted in by the councilors a month ago the legality of the vote was questioned by the voivod. The incumbent coalition of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) and Freedom Union (UW) has appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA) to suspend the voivod's decision. The Voivod retaliated by accusing the councilors of perpetuating chaos in the borough, and if his motion is accepted today, the commissioner could be introduced for two years instead of three months. Andrzej Herman who currently leads a number of cases over the reprivatization of real estate in Centrum is being considered for the post. (Rzeczpospolita, page 1,3) P.S.
