SLD and UP unite for parliamentary elections, criticize AWS government

A Labor Union (UP) Congress has agreed to establish an election coalition with Democratic Left Alliance (SLD). President Aleksander Kwasniewski, who was the guest of the UP meeting, said that it is reasonable to hold early Sejm elections, while UP leader Marek Pol said that no one with common sense would today praise the government. In its statement, UP says Solidarity Election Action (AWS) is unable to solve any of the pressing issues and, although in danger of losing power, will keep trying to become the owner of the country. UP hopes that the left will win the upcoming parliamentary elections and says that the majority of the current government's reforms will have to be changed. (Gazeta Wyborcza,Oct. 30, p.4,)
