SLD seeks support from opposition parties for the Hausner plan

Although no talks are planned with Law and Justice (PiS), since the party has already made the final decision to vote against the plan, negotiations with the Polish Families League (LPR) and the Peasants' Party (PSL) will soon gain pace. SLD representatives announced plans to begin talks concerning this motion with the most serious candidate for support, the Civic Platform (PO) this Friday. Zbigniew Chlebowski, the deputy head of PO Parliamentary Club, said in an interview that the party would back the vote if the plan, which encompasses savings by significantly cutting expenditures on administration would start this year, and not as had been originally foreseen for 2005.
