Nałęcz switches his allegiance back to the SLD while Olejniczak attacks Belka

The deputy head of the Social Democratic Poland (SDPL) Sylwia Pusz announced that the SDPL will send a request to the party's court to dismiss Nałęcz from the SDPL. In July, Nałęcz decided not to run in the parliamentary elections, while even earlier he resigned from leading the election committee of Marek Borowski, claiming he has to remain unbiased while investigating the PKN Orlen affair in the Sejm Commission. In related news the leader of the SLD, Wojciech Olejniczak, announced that the government led by Marek Belka has lost the support of the SLD as it has become the government of the Democratic Party (PD), as Marek Belka will be running in the election on the PD lists. The SLD leader added that the left wing has lost its power to push through its policies and that the current politics of the government are contradictory to the program of the SLD.
