Government teeters on edge after Jurek's resignation

When PiS leaders found he would not be reversing his decision they considered dissolving the government and calling for new elections. However, the threat of new elections did not sway the former Sejm Speaker, who maintained that a new parliamentary group will be created this week. The League of Polish Families (LPR) as well as Self-Defense have both officially offered to help select a new Sejm Speaker, subtly suggesting that this does not have to a PiS deputy. As PiS deputies stand strong though, either the Sejm Speaker will be from PiS or new elections will be organized. (Dziennik, p. 1) A.K.
