New agreement will see UPR candidates appear on PO electoral list

Citizens' Platform (PO) has joined an electoral alliance with the Realpolitic Party (UPR). This is the PO's second such alliance, following the agreement it signed with the National Conservative Alliance (SKL). Under an agreement signed on Saturday by PO leader Donald Tusk and UPR chairman Janusz Korwin-Mikke, UPR politicians will appear on the PO electoral list as candidates to the Sejm, and Janusz Korwin-Mikke will run as a parliamentary senator. In a statement, the two parties refuted accusations that the controversial figure of Janusz Korwin-Mikke did not suit the conservative image of the PO. The statement continued, "The creativity and determination of the UPR members will strengthen the PO." (Zycie, p.4) M.T.
