All those talked to refused to support the government despite not having any real objections to the new cabinet's policies. Foreign Minister Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz, for one, expressed his surprise at the SdPl's stance and warned against the harmful destabilization of the country that would result should the government lose the vote. The SdPl stated that as they assumed Belka's government would not win a majority anyway, they failed to see how their support could help. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) K.J.
