PiS fears it is about to become Lepper's prisoner, ministers ready to resign

As many parties are against the idea, there is practically no chance that the motion will be accepted, so after the voting is over talks will be held between Law and Justice (PiS) and Self-Defense over forming a coalition. Nevertheless, the past few days have been full of appeals between the Civic Platform (PO) and PiS to begin alternative coalition talks, but there has been no breakthrough, nor is any expected. PiS leaders fear that Lepper will conclude that he has become indispensable for the government and will begin to increase his demands, such as the dismissal of Finance Minister Gilowska or for radical changes to the the act governing the National Bank of Poland (NBP). Self-Defense's leader is seeking the position of Deputy Prime Minister and three ministries: labour, agriculture and environment. There are rumors that several ministers are ready to resign if Lepper enters the government. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 6; Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) J.L.
