Janusz Tomaszewski appointed as new head of local AWS branch in Lodz
Former Deputy Prime Minister and current Solidarity Election Alliance (AWS)
member Janusz Tomaszewski has been selected to head his partys local branch
in Lodz. Shortly after being appointed, he announced he was also prepared to
spearhead AWSs election campaign ahead of parliamentary elections to be
held this fall. The newly chosen local leader said he would like to see
Platforma Obywatelska (PO) and Freedom Union (UW) as partners in the race
for the parliament, but added that his party stands very little chance of
beating the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) this year at the polls.
Tomaszewski, recently exonerated from charges of lying to the screening
court, is not considering a return to the government. (Rzeczpospolita, p.A3)
