LPR try to sabotage EU enlargement through appealing to Irish for "No" vote

Twenty Polish Families League (LPR) Sejm deputies have appealed to the people of Ireland to reject Poland's accession to the European Union during a referendum, which will take place this Saturday. They wrote an appeal to the people of Ireland, "A large part of the Polish public oppose the idea of joining the EU. Even if acceptance of the Nice Treaty and enlargement of the EU is your national dream, we ask you not to do it - in order to help Poland," reads the letter sent to a number of Irish organizations, including National Platform, which is against the enlargement. In the letter, the LPR deputies do not mention which party they belong to, simply calling themselves members of Poland's Parliament. The letter was sent by Jan Lopuszanski, a candidate who ran for President. "The Polish Families League wants the Irish people to reject the Treaty and at the same time take away the right of the Polish public to make a sovereign decision in our own referendum. It is a step towards betrayal," says Marcin Libicki of the Law and Justice party. (Rzeczpospolita, p.A4) A.K.
