PM threatens early elections if Lepper ruins the budget

PM Jaroslaw Kaczynski replies that the state cannot afford to spend more, while Lepper's Robin Hood-like suggestions to take away from some ministries and give to others (his) are harmful for the country. He warned Lepper that his protest will result in early Parliamentary elections. PiS politicians are convinced that Lepper wants to arrive with a suitcase full of money and in this way buy votes in the coming local election. (Dziennik, September 2-3, p. 5) J.L.
