LPR under great pressure as coalition takes shape

Negotiations with Self-Defense are almost closed and the Peasants Party is to decide by tomorrow whether it will enter the coalition. The situation with the League of Polish Families remains unclear, since the party has two negotiation teams: an official and unofficial one. The official team presented their candidates for the ministers that include the party leader Roman Giertych for Education Minister and Janusz Dorosz for Sports Minister. However, Marek Kuchcinski from Law and Justice declared, "We support the participation of the League of Polish Families in the government coalition but without Roman Giertych." Law and Justice hopes it will manage to persuade some of the LPR deputies to leave their parliamentary club and join PiS. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) E.B.
