Korwin-Mikke demands apology over call for his removal from candidate list
Janusz Korwin-Mikke, leader of the conservative Union of Real Politics
(UPR), has demanded an apology from Wladyslaw Frasyniuk of the Freedom Union
(UW) and fellow Bloc Senate 2001 candidate Jacek Ossowski, after they called
for his name to be removed from the list of parliamentary candidates from
the Bloc Senate 2001. The two had demanded his removal following the
publication in Thursday's Wieczor Wroclawia of an article, "Korwin-Mikke: In
Hitler's times it was better". The article claimed it was quoting what he
had said during a campaign rally in Wroclaw. Korwin-Mikke later sued the
Wroclaw daily, and won. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) P.W.
