Classified Polnews

Warsaw, Poland April 6, 2006 - According to the Polish government, inconvenient scheduling made it not possible for anyone in the Polish government to hold with tradition and to attend an annual meeting of the Supreme Court where it reviewed its activities for the previous year.

In the past, the president of Poland, the Prime Minister of Poland, and leaders of the Sejm and Senate attended the meeting held by the Polish Supreme Court.

The leaders of the current ruling Polish political party Law and Justice had been critical of the Polish Supreme Court. A very few commentators have accepted the excuse for inconvenience scheduling. Consensus seems to say, "everyone knows what's going on".
