Sejm member feel disoriented as Buzek attempts to rebuild government

Jerzy Buzek has appointed four new ministers to replace the dismissed Freedom Union (UW) ministers. Janusz Steinhoff will be the new deputy Prime Minister and will also still be Economy Minister. Jaroslaw Bauc will be responsible for Finance and Jerzy Widzyk will become Transport Minister. The new Justice Minister will be Lech Kaczynski. All of the newly appointed ministers are from Solidarity Election action (AWS), a former UW coalition partner. The ministers have not yet been officially nominated as the President received all the required documents too late. However, two UW ministers remain on duty. Yesterday, the AWS deputies in the Sejm were feeling disoriented."An official decision has not been reached yet", said one of them, but in less than 30 seconds an official confirmation from the Prime Minister's office arrived. This time Buzek decided not to consult the AWS leaders. His decision outraged Christian National Alliance (ZChN) who were counting on being appointed to "more profitable positions." Their resentment may be alleviated with several posts in the Justice and Defense Ministries. (Zycie, page 1, Gazeta Wyborcza, page 1,4) J.K.
