PO-PiS relations continue on a downward spiral

"It seems to me that now PiS treats us like an enemy," said Donald Tusk. A new problematic matter became the choice of the Deputy Senate Speaker. A week ago PO voted in favor of Bogdan Borusewicz, who was also supported by PiS, and now PO has proposed that the Deputy Speaker should be Stefan Niesiołowski. PiS, however, did not agree. According to Ludwik Dorn, Niesiołowski's standing towards PiS is extremely antagonistic." "Let PiS say aloud that the Deputy Senate Speaker can be only someone who likes the Kaczyński brothers," said Jan Rokita ironically. Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz announced he would ask some well known people close to PO to mediate in the dispute, but he did not reveal any names. According to unofficial sources these could be Władysław Bartoszewski and Zbigniew Religa. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.F.
