President calls into question future of Premier over Rywin case

Prime Minister Leszek Miller announced that he would reveal details of his personal knowledge of the Rywin case to the Sejm Investigation Commission. President Aleksander Kwasniewski, in an interview with Rzeczpospolita over the weekend, said that he told both Miller and Michnik back in September to report what they knew about the issue to the prosecutor. In an interview on TVP, Miller replied that if the President thought the case was so important then Kwasniewski himself should have gone to the prosecutor. Miller added that last week he found out that the President received a letter from Lew Rywin at the end of July. However Miller would not comment on the content of the letter. In response to Kwasniewski's comments as on whether Miller should remain PM, Miller replied, "There are no problems when it comes to functioning of the government".
