UW presents stiff conditions for coalition survival, AWS initial agreement

UW demands evaluation of ministry department heads, limits to ministry personnel increases, changes in the Health Ministry and punishment for two ministers voting against government in the vote on Prokuratoria Generalna (which controls privatization). Jerzy Wierchowicz, head of UW Parliamentary Club said that the party is ready to leave the coalition. Thus AWS would have to create minority government. "We would support such a government in all issues important for Poland," said Wierchowicz. Jacek Rybicki, deputy head of AWS Parliamentary Club said that "UW conditions are strange" adding that only the Prime Minister can evaluate ministers. According to late night Radio Zet news, AWS has initially agreed to all UW demands and the talks will continue tomorrow. (Rzeczpospolita, pages 1, 2, Radio Zet)
