SdPl's Borowski rules out joining forces with scandal-ridden SLD

"SdPl is no longer interested in what is going on in the SLD," declared SdPl leader Marek Borowski yesterday. He added that "it is no use struggling to combine two elements that do not fit each other." According to Borowski SLD deputies are incapable of taking any conclusions from the latest scandals and of punishing the party members who were involved in them. Borowski stated that even though the left wing party has very little chance of winning the parliamentary elections, it may count on better results in the next presidential elections. A possible candidate could be Borowski himself, whose rating in the opinion polls is relatively high. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.F.
