Labor Union enlists support for Kwasniewski, Olechowski will not endorse

Labor Union (UP) has collected 110,000 signatures to support the candidacy of President Aleksander Kwasniewski in the presidential elections. The leader of UP Marek Pol indicated that this number of signatures would be sufficient to register the candidate. Meanwhile presidential candidate Andrzej Olechowski says that in the event of a second-round of elections in which he were not participating, he would not advise his supporters to vote for Kwasniewski. Another candidate General Tadeusz Wilecki proposed to create a national building program which will give every Polish family a chance to get an apartment. During his Friday meeting with voters, Wilecki praised the social achievements of the Third Reich. He said, "It was a great achievement of Hitler-houses for each family." (Rzeczpospolita, page A2)
