Dissenting AWS leaders meet Buzek to discuss Krzaklewski resignation
According to politicians representing the three dissenting partners of
Solidarity Election Action (AWS), Conservative- Peasants Party (SKL),
Christian National Union (ZChN) and Polish Christian Democratic Party
(PPChD), the chances for reaching an agreement concerning AWS leader
Marian Krzaklewski's resignation from his position are quite good,
although he himself, supported by Solidarity (Solidarnosc), says he will
not step down.Yesterday the leaders of the three aforementioned parties
met with Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek to discuss the situation, and
afterwards they seemed less insistent. Still, they stressed they had not
changed their opinion about Krzaklewski's future. Rumor has it that AWS
Social Movement (RS AWS) would like Solidarnosc to withdraw from politics,
thus giving RS AWS the power to designate a new, yet-unknown leader for
the coalition. RS AWS says that under the new circumstances Krzaklewski
will have to decide whether he wants to participate in politics or to lead
the trade union. The Solidarnosc national commission has not commented on
the RS AWS initiatives (Zycie, p.1)
