Enfranchisement proponents to march on Sejm to protest presidential veto

The proponents of the Enfranchisement Bill will march through the center of Warsaw to protest President Aleksander Kwasniewski's decision to veto it. According to the organizers 15,000-20,000 people will virtually block the city as they make their way towards the Sejm, where special commissions will debate the veto. The protesters deny any connection between the march and the upcoming presidential elections. However, presidential candidate and Solidarity Election Action (AWS) leader Marian Krzaklewski has already promised to participate in the march. He will be accompanied by Jan Olszewski, who threw his support behind Krzaklewski after recently withdrawing from the presidential race. (Zycie, page 5)
