In Brief: LPR program; PiS candidates picked; PO's petition

On Saturday the Polish Family League (LPR) presented its program entitled "Poland deserves more," in which the party says it wants to fight corruption and take a closer look at privatization processes. Roman Giertych's recent strategy is to attack the president, who will be interrogated by the Orlen commission. It is said to be the beginning of Giertych's fight to become president himself. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) ... Law and Justice (PiS) began the process of choosing its candidates for next year's parliamentary elections. By November the party wants to gather 1,000 names of people "not involved in any sort of connections." (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) ... Civic Platform (PO) has begun gathering signatures for a project involving a motion to liquidate the Senate, decrease the number of Sejm deputies by half and get rid of immunity for deputies. "Should these changes be implemented, there will be less regulations, less absurd spending and less politicians," said PO's head Donald Tusk. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 7) D.W.
