Lewica‑PSL Compromise Reached Over Legal Recognition
Earlier this week the Greater Left (Lewica) and Polish People’s Party (PSL) negotiated a settlement on partner‑relationships, although details remain undisclosed. Final talks took place in the Sejm on Oct 7 between both party caucuses and later between their leaders, Włodzimierz Czarzasty and Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz.
Draft Legislation Set for Parliamentary Debate
Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz said that establishing partner‑relationships and accompanying benefits is a vital issue and praised the compromise achieved. Co‑chairman Włodzimierz Czarzasty highlighted the work of MPs Katarzyna Kotuli (Lewica) and Urszula Pasławska (PSL) in unifying the proposals.
