Miller says social democracy is in harmony with Pope's preaching

Prime Minister Leszek Miller interpreted the Pope's criticism of liberalism as being close to the market economy concept of social democracy. The Prime Minister was glad to hear John Paul II Sunday mass, in which the Pope criticized uncontrolled liberalism, Miller said in an interview on radio yesterday, "This is the same idea that we use, namely "yes" for market economy and "no" for a market society, which means no to a society, where everything is commericalized, including health care and access to education. "The Pope criticized the type of liberalism where the State withdraws from various social liabilities, which ridicules the idea of social justice". I do not think that he was preaching this idea just to Poland, but to the whole world, and particularly to the highly developed capitalist countries," emphasized Miller. (Zycie, p. 7) P.W.
