PM likely to take a back seat in politics until the end of January

Government spokesman Marcin Kaszuba said yesterday that doctors have advised the Prime Minister Leszek Miller to remain in hospital for at least six weeks. As a result, Infrastructure Minister Marek Pol rather than Miller will chair Tuesday's meeting of the Cabinet. At the same time, the head of the Interior Ministry hospital Marek Durlik, said that Miller will be able to spend Christmas with his family. "If nothing unexpected occurs the Prime Minister will go home for Christmas. However, he will not be able to dance at festive parties, as he is still recovering from a very serious accident," Durlik said. Miller will continue to receive physiotherapy, although it will not be as intensive as up to now. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 2) A.Z.
