Signing of Stabilization Pact results in snubs all round

The agreement means it is almost certain there will be no spring elections and that the Sejm will function normally. The pact encompasses the terms on which the three parties will cooperate and a list of about 150 bills they will support as a majority. The bills concern establishing a Central Anti-Corruption Office (CBA), changes to certain aspects of civil service and creating a Commission for Truth and Justice. Signing the pact also means that PiS' minority government will enjoy the support of small majority of Sejm members. The actual signing of the pact was broadcasted by two media, Radio Maryja and TV Trwam. Other media were only allowed to take part in a press conference held right after the pact was signed, but they boycotted the conference claiming that closing the room where the pact was signed for media other than those connected with Father Rydzyk was an insult to them and democracy as a whole.
