Krzaklewski would resign if coalition forms AWS party within 6 months

The leader of Solidarity Election Action (AWS) Marian Krzaklewski announced that he would file his resignation as the party's head on the condition that within 6 months the Conservative Peasants Party (SKL), Christian National Union (ZChN) and Polish Christian Democratic Party (PPChD) agree to form a single party named AWS. However, despite the Church's mediating role in soothing the coalition's internecine struggles, final agreement has not yet been reached. Only three of the coalition's parties accepted the demand to form a single party, rejecting the six-month deadline designated by Krzaklewski. "The six-month plan for transforming the coalition into one party is ridiculous and unacceptable," commented Stanislaw Zajac of ZChN. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1,A3)
