Kaczyński continues to play hard to get during first public PiS-PO meeting

For nearly two hours, Jan Rokita and Jarosław Kaczyński discussed about how to form the new coalition government. "We still do not know if PO wants to form a coalition with us, or to review the concept of a government prepared by Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz," answered Kaczyński to PO's demand that Marcinkiewicz presents a detailed plan of the structure of his future cabinet. PiS, in turn, wanted PO to officially announce the name of its candidate for prime minister. The result was, however, that Rokita accused PiS of using the coalition negotiations as part of the presidential campaign. "If Jarosław Kaczyński says that Lech Kaczyński as a candidate for President is the guarantee of changes in Poland, then I do not see any chance for our negotiations to end," stated Rokita. The politicians failed even to set the date of their next meeting. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) A.F.
