Donald Tusk
Yes or No?
Will Poland's President Force New Polish Elections? - Evasive Answers - Updated
Warsaw, Poland 4 November 2007 Once again reporters pressing for a firm statement from the Law And Justice party as to whether or not Poland's President would appoint Civic Platform Leader Donald Tusk to form a new Polish Government were only given evasive answers.
Updated 1440 CET 5 November, 2007 - The Polish Press spokesman has announced that there are plans to appoint Donald Tusk this week and that he will be invited to all events. For details see Polish President's Office Announces It Plans To Appoint Tusk As Poland's Prime Minister
There has been a prevailing rumor that the President will not follow tradition and appoint someone other than Tusk to form the new government. He could do it so as to force new elections. New Polish Elections Considered By Poland's Losing Party Members
Even though the President said that he would appoint Tusk as prime minister, journalists sense something afoot.
The President has refused to meet with Donald Tusk or congratulate him on his election victory due to some insult. Poland's President Not In Public View After Polish Elections
And that has prompted a lot of questions not only in the media but among the general public.
Yesterday a man was sitting in front of the Presidential Palace with a sign that asked, "Where is my President of all Poles?" Questions similar to that have many shaking their heads and wondering what is going on?
Today journalists pressed Senat Marszalek Krzysztof Putra of the Law and Justice Party as to the President's intentions. He first responded to a question about whether the President would appoint Radek Sikorsk- as Foreign Minister (see Poland's Exiting Government Attacks Ex Polish Minister Of Defense ) by saying that the President would follow the constitution. When asked if the President would appoint someone other than Tusk to form the new government, he said that anything is possible. http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/Wiadomosci/1,80269,4640079.html Komorowski: Szczyglo ma jakis kompleks
Donald Tusk likewise appears uncomfortable. During his visit to Great Britain yesterday he publicly asked the President to appoint him as prime minister as soon as possible. He should not have to do that since it is a matter of tradition and should happen as a matter of course. Additionally he asked Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski to not do anything that would delay the formation of the new government. Why he had to make a point of asking that has not been explained. http://www.zw.com.pl/zw2/index.jsp?place=Lead04&&news_cat_id=16&news_id=172577&layout=1&forum_id=48496&page=text" Tusk: nowy rzad jak najszybciej
Tomorrow the President will not make a speech at the first meeting of the Polish Parliament. His brother, Jaroslaw, will make it in his stead.
It has some wondering.
