Deadline for Krzaklewski in AWS, to be followed by Buzek federation?
Today is the deadline for Solidarity Election Action (AWS) leader Marian
Krzaklewski to leave the alliance. As earlier suggested by Sejm speaker
Maciej Plazynski, the party is supposed to be transformed into a
federation headed by Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek by November 10. However
Krzaklewski is still far from leaving AWS, which means that the rebellious
parties Christian National Union (ZChN) and Polish Christian Democratic
Party (PPChD) may summon the federation without him. According to one AWS
member, next year's budget may be very difficult to negotiate if
controversies lingers within the alliance. "Who is to negotiate on its
behalf with the opposition if there is no solidarity within AWS?" he
asked. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p.6)
