UP's Nałęcz demands changes to the government's line-up

Following the remarks, made at the UP's National Council meeting, Pol retorted sharply saying that if the leftist coalition focuses on who should be replaced with whom, it will end up in the "political gutter," and suggested that Nałęcz's comments were themselves a sign of his own desire to take over the party's leadership. The Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) said that it would not issue a formal response, but it is no secret that a group of its politicians, led by Sejm Speaker Marek Borowski, shares Nałęcz's view that major changes are needed, maybe going so far as creating a new leftist party.
