Sejm enacts enfranchisement law entitling citizens to taking over state assets

The Sejm has passed the Universal Enfranchisement Act which calls for the disposal of state assets to Polish citizens. The opposition has criticized the bill saying it will cause confusion, especially with respect to the entitlement of sitting tenants to take over the municipal houses they currently occupy for free. People who have already purchased such houses will feel cheated if they realize their neighbors are getting the houses free of charge. (Prawo i Gospodarka, July 15-16, page 1) S.M .
