Will Janusz Tomaszewski head the AWS parliamentary election campaign?
The management of Solidarity Election Action (AWS) held discussions
yesterday to decide whether to accept former deputy prime minister Janusz
Tomaszewski as a head of its parliamentary election campaign. Former AWS
head Marian Krzaklewski suggested first starting talks with Movement for the
Reconstruction of Poland (ROP) and the Kaczynscy brothers group about
creating an alliance for the parliamentary election. All members of such a
coalition would then choose the head of the election campaign afterwards.
Krzaklewski expressed his concern that choosing Tomaszewski may polarize the
right wing. In his opinion, the Kaczynscy group, ROP, and Przymierze
Prawicy (former politicians from the Conservative Peasants Party, SKL) and
Christian National Union (ZChN), will reject him. As this edition of Poland
A.M. went to press, the decision of the AWS management was not yet known.
