An appeal to Polish politicians

To mark the anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Uprising against the German occupying forces in 1944, the editors in chief of the Polish dailies Polska, Dziennik, Gazeta Wyborcza and Rzeczpospolita have published a joint appeal to President Lech Kaczyński and the Polish government to keep their promise to hold a screenplay competition and finance films on the Warsaw Uprising. "Unfortunately, 20 months have passed since these welcome words about films on the Warsaw Uprising were spoken and nothing has happened. Therefore we call ... on Polish politicians to bring the work already done on the competition to conclusion. We know that this requires considerable funding, perhaps even millions of złoty, but we believe that independent Poland needs to make this investment. ... In everyday life we are divided by our political views and our visions for Poland's future. ... But we hold the view that there are ... issues and subjects in Poland's collective memory that require a joint approach. The Warsaw Uprising is certainly one of the most important among them."

Poland ratifies EU Reform Treaty

On Tuesday, the Sejm, or lower house of the Polish parliament, voted by a large majority in favour of authorising the ratification of the EU Reform Treaty. This came shortly after a compromise between President Lech Kaczynski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk ended a dispute in which the conservative opposition, the PiS, had threatened to block the ratification bill in parliament. The daily's chief editor Pawel Fafara is delighted: "Following a fierce political struggle, the Sejm has now confirmed by a great majority what most of the nation wants, namely for Poland to participate fully in the newly reformed Union. This was the most important day since our accession to the EU. It was a victory for the true patriots over those who churn out rhetoric about defending the country's interests but want to keep us away from the EU."
