Law and Justice to submit a motion to dissolve the parliament
In that situation, the government will be reconstructed. Saturday's PiS conference was supposed to be the start of the local government election campaign. The party president, Jarosław Kaczyński surprised everyone, though, and announced early parliamentary elections. "In the near future we will submit a motion to dissolve the parliament so that elections can take place before the Pope's visit [25-28 May]," said Kaczyński. The real reason though are problems with the stabilization pact between PiS, SelfDefense and LPR. For the motion to be carried it needs a 2/3 majority and for that to happen it needs the support of the Civic Platform (PO). Early elections are therefore unlikely. "A May election is out of the question. We can talk about early elections if they are joined with local government elections," said PO leader Donald Tusk. (Parkiet, p. 1) S.D.
