Miller to announce his resignation, but not until after EU accession

According to senior Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) figures, the three most likely candidates to replace him are Józef Oleksy, Marek Belka and Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz. The general consensus among the party is that Miller is a bad advert and must step down. "This government and our party are paying the price for Miller's style of ruling - arrogant and dictatorial. This is best shown by the fact that although the economy has gained pace, our ratings are still going down," Krystian Kostka, the SLD's deputy head in Chorzów stated. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) A.K.
