UW not expected to announce presidential candidate at National Convention

At today's National Convention of the Freedom Union (UW), the party is expected not to choose a candidate for the presidential election, but instead, appeal to the consciousness of its electorate. The party's leaders gave up running for the office hinting of more advantageous ways of spending the party's money for the parliamentary campaign. As UW representatives will not pronounce any names, they will however specify the ethical and moral requirements a given candidate should fulfill. Besides, "talking about Olechowski or Frasyniuk as the potential candidates for the elections could create antagonisms within the party," says an UW member who wants to remain anonymous.
