Polish Family League splits

According to Krutul, more than 15 deputies from the Polish Family League (LPR) intend to join the new club, which will be called Dom Ojczysty. He claims that the two main reasons for leaving the LPR are the autocratic way in which it is run and its participation in the elections to the European Parliament which Dom Ojczysty intends to boycott. The deputy leader of LPR's parliamentary club, Roman Giertych, described the news about a split within the party as "a nonsense" and assured that no more than four deputies may leave the club which now has 30 members.
