"Common enemy" mentality cement LPR, PiS and Self-Defense as allies

The move stems from the fact that also today the Banking Supervisory Commission (KNB) will meet and vote to accept the merger of the two banks. Deputies of Law and Justice (PiS), the Polish Families League (LPR) and Self-Defense will do all that is possible to block the merger. The extraordinary Sejm session was called at the request of LPR leader Roman Giertych, who had a concept that the Sejm should discuss the motion of making Leszek Balcerowicz face the State Tribunal. "I cannot see this Parliament gathering two-thirds of its votes, which is necessary to put somebody in front of the Tribunal. Due to this, I see the motion as some kind of protest," said the leader of PiS Jarosław Kaczyński. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) M.M.
