SLD to file motion to take PM and Finance Minister to Constitutional court

Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) will file a motion to Sejm to bring Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek and Finance Minister Jaroslaw Bauc to the Constitutional Tribunal. SLD is accusing Buzek and Bauc of delaying the constitutionally set deadline to present next year's budget. SLD leader Leszek Miller said around 100 deputies signed the motion with 115 required to table it. Government spokesman Krzysztof Luft said the delay was caused by the situation which arose after Sejm rejected several proposals that considerably influenced the budget. "This is the right of the opposition," said deputy Prime Minister Longin Komolowski. (Rzeczpospolita, page A2)
