LPR fights for its political life as Patriotic Movement seeks to win its voters

"The LPR has to be quickly delegalized before the elections in order for the people to have a clear view on which party to vote. That is, the currently being created coalition of small right wing parties," said Sławomir Rozwadowski, a 60-year old political activist who was expelled from the LPR back in 2001. The new coalition is being formed by Antoni Macierewicz of the National Catholic Movement (RKN), who is also the leader of the newly created Patriotic Movement (RP), or the so-called Radio Maryja party, as the inauguration of the party was broadcast live on the station belonging to Father Rydzyk. Macierewicz's party is strongly competing with the LPR. Roman Giertych, LPR leader, denies all accusations claiming that the party was registered four years ago by a court ruling.
