Olechowski supporters meet to form new centrist UW-SKL organization

Members of Andrzej Olechowski's Presidential election committee want to establish their own organization. Last week Olechowski proposed that his election committees from the Freedom Union (UW) and Conservative-Peasants Party (SKL) establish a centrist coalition before the next parliamentary elections, an idea discussed on Saturday at a meeting with his election campaign organizers. Olechowski spokesperson Agnieszka Liszka said that the participants decided to create a new organization. "Olechowski will give further information in several days; perhaps by then he will have received responses from Leszek Balcerowicz and Jan Maria Rokita, the UW and SKL leaders." However, during the meeting Olechowski himself argued that there is no point in creating a new organization, especially since some of his committee's members belong to different parties.
