Polish peace pact - no coalition.
Warsaw, Poland October 4, 2006. The closest that the Polish government has been able to come to forming a new Polish Government coalition is to get a request by the party that it has been recently courting, PSL, to enter into a 90 day peace pact for Poland. Only after the expiration of this. 90 days of peace in Poland would PSL consider entering into a coalition with and the Law and Justice Party.
There have been rumors that PSL and Law and Justice Party have been holding discussions about the formation of a new coalition.
And there have been statements that coalition talks between PSL and Law and Justice are not being held.
Now it appears that PSL is starting to distance itself from the Law and Justice Party as the popularity of the Law and Justice Party drops. The attacks on the Polish television station TVN 24 appear also to have some affect on the PSL. see
PSL leader, Waldemar Pawlak, has noted that even if the PSL forms a coalition with the Law and Justice Party, the combination of the Law and Justice Party ,and the other political parties involved, will not give the coalition a parliamentary majority.
It would appear that Waldemar Pawlak thinks it better to hold back and not commit until he sees what happens to the popularity of the Polish Government over the next 90 days.
So for the present time, there will be no new Polish coalition. As to whether there will be a peace pact that can be put in place when one considers that the Polish government is on the warpath with the Polish press and the opposition party Civic Platform, that seems unlikely as well.
