Premier Miller says Poland has become a leader in economic transformation

At a meeting of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD)'s National Council, the Prime Minister Leszek Miller and his Deputy Jerzy Hausner summarizing the two year period of the party's operation, said that the party has made great success. They both ensured that Poland had become the leader in the economic transformation. "Our opponents are not able to question our achievements, therefore they say that the economic revival is a present the government received for free and it could be even greater if the government did not interfere" Miller said ironically. "If that was so easy, why did the previous government fail to revive the economy? Why it is us that have to rescue the Szczecin Shipyard, Wagon or Stalowa Wola?" he asked. Following Miller's speech, Hausner announced that the government intends to reduce expenditures and liberalize economic policy. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) A.Z.
