Opposition calling on Marek Belka to hold a no-confidence vote in Sejm

If the vote were to be carried it would allow parliamentary elections to take place in June. The vote of no-confidence can be passed with a majority of votes in the Sejm. If Belka called for a vote it would present an excellent opportunity for the opposition, as the only parties against such a move are the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) and the Labor Union (UP). "We appeal to Marek Belka to turn with the vote of no-confidence to the Sejm as soon as possible. If he will not, this will mean he is dishonest like the SLD and wants autumn elec tions," said Polish Families League's Zygmunt Wrzodak. The head of the Civic Platform (PO) Jan Rokita on the other hand remains cool and advises to stop the discussion concerning the date of the elections. "All normal people know already that neither Aleksander Kwaśniewski nor Marek Belka want early elections. Only the SLD is brave enough to officially support the autumn date," said Rokita.
