Small parties likely to give in to PiS pressure and sign Stabilization Pact

Meanwhile, rumours are circulating that the agreement could be signed on Monday at the latest. Yesterday PiS and the aforementioned parties were settling the bills that PiS wants to pass with the small parties' help in exchange for not calling earlier elections. It seems these small parties are so afraid of new elections that they have almost given up the flagship points of their election programs just to remain within the parliamentary structures. The catalogue of bills within the pact, which is to be signed for a period of one year with the possibliity of prolonging it, will be open to introducing new projects if all three parties agree. For the time being, both LPR and Self-defense have given up attempts to win seats in the government. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A7; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.K.
