Polands acting president takes right course of action

Politicians belonging to the national conservative Law and Justice Party [PiS] of Lech Kaczyński, the Polish president who died in a plane crash on the weekend, have criticised acting president Bronislaw Komorowski of the liberal-conservative Civic Platform party for already having nominated successors to the chiefs of security and the chancellery of the presidency, who also died in the crash. The daily Gazeta Wyborcza has no sympathy with such complaints: "Jacek Michałowski, who has been nominated to lead the chancellery of the president, is an unpolitical official who works a lot, not a politician who was lucky enough to wangle a good post. The nomination of Stanisław Koziej to chief of the BBN [National Security Bureau] is a bow to the opposition, because Koziej was deputy defence minister in the PiS government. The two posts have to be filled because the state must continue to function. ... And both can be relieved from office at any time."
