To be or not to be a deputy or a councilor? SLD politicians have to choose
Deputies from Social Democracy Left Alliance (SLD) who are occupying two
political posts at the same time have been told they have until September to
decide which one to keep, their parliamentary position or their local
authority position. A resolution on this issue was passed on Tuesday. None
of the deputies voted against it. Currently, there are 40 SLD-deputies who
are also councilors. SLD says it is difficult to fulfill the duties of a
deputy while also working as a councilor. (Rzeczpospolita, page A2) A.D.
