Russia warns Poland on US missile defence system
As Poland and the US have reached a general agreement about building US missile defence in Poland, Russian ambassador to NATO Dmitri Rogosin criticised Poland sharply, recalling the consequences of Poland's positioning in World War II. This was how Poland had lost almost one-third of its population. Paweł Wroński is appalled: "What are these words supposed to mean? That World War II was justified? That it was caused by Poland's policy of confrontation? Rogosin is thought to be a nationalist in Russia, and his party 'Rodina' is considered part of political folklore. However, he has been an official representative of the Russian state for a month and enjoys President Putin's full confidence. If the will to improve Polish-Russian relations means accepting such views, then it is better to remain with 'a policy of confrontation', as Rogosin called it."

The ruling party calls for new elections
Poland's conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS), which depends on the support of populist and right-wing clerical parties for a parliamentary majority, wants to call new elections just seven months after the last ones. However, it is having problems obtaining the approval of two-thirds of the MPs it requires to dissolve parliament because the main opposition party, the liberal right-wing Civic Platform, doesn't want new elections in May. Pawel Wronski comments: "In the present situation of continuous conflict and confusion, it will be virtually impossible to pass good laws, construct motorways, or strengthen Poland's position within the EU. Governing requires discussion and a certain amount of cooperation, and not an endless string of accusations, slander, and the destruction of institutions and individuals... He [Jaroslaw Kaczynski, chairman of the PiS] is fighting a war for total control. No-one can govern under these circumstances, he comments mockingly. And he's right about that."
