SLD to apply for dissolution of parliament

Opposition Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) said that it will file a motion for the dissolution of the parliament.

"The political situation in the country has long been unstable, but since yesterday we are already witnessing overt destabilization of the government, of the ruling Civic Platform (PO), which de facto destabilizes the country," said Anna Bieńkowska at a press conference. "In order to save Poles from many months of quarrels between the ruling PO-PSL camp and Law and Justice (PiS), for the good of Poland, SLD will submit a motion to shorten the term of the Sejm," she added.

The resolution needs to be backed by 307 MPs, that is by two-thirds of the total number of MPs in the parliament (460), to take effect.
