PiS and Self-Defense to sign coalition deal today

Politicians from both parties exchanged their proposals on issues that should be included in the coalition agreement. "The limit of our concessions is common sense," declared PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski. "However, we are ready to share power," he added. The coalition will probably be formed after Easter. The Polish Peasants' Party (PSL) will probably also join the coalition, although its leaders are reluctant to give any binding declarations on the subject. "We do not intend to jump into the swimming pool without checking earlier whether there is any water in it," declared PSL leader Waldemar Pawlak. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) E.B.
