Lepper refutes his own claim of meeting with Tusk

According to unofficial information they were to discuss potential early parliamentary elections and cooperation between the two parties. It appears that the meeting's existence was revealed for a purpose: Lepper can use it to increase his bargaining power with PiS, while Tusk can show the public that the coalition is on the verge of collapse.Lepper admitted having met with Tusk immediately; Tusk, however, remained silent on the issue until yesterday when he stated, "We did not meet. That's all I have to say." Just moments after Tusk's denial, Andrzej Lepper withdrew his earlier statement. "I do not know who made this meeting up. It wasn't me for sure," he said during a press conference. Upon hearing Lepper's announcement, Prime Minister Kaczynski commented, "This is not a good game, as it destabilizes the situation in the country."(Rzeczpospolita, p.A5) A.K.
