PO and PiS reach an agreement following tiff over screening

Lech Kaczyński of PiS said he supports solely the vetting of presidential candidates. In reply to this announcement, Jan Rokita from PO, who supports a wide screening process, threatened to resign from cooperation in a future government if the stand will not be changed. The following day, in an attempt to cool the conflict, PiS representatives said they do support the screening of politicians, but not of other people. "This means that there is concord and the chance of joint ruling returns," declared Rokita. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.K
