Jaroslaw Kaczynski (right) leader of the largest opposition party, the socially conservative Law and Justice, has denied speculation that they will enter into an alliance with the post-communist Democratic Left Alliance (SLD).

Aleksander Kwasniewski, Poland's former president and leader of the SLD, suggested on a radio show on Monday that in the future such a coalition could be possible.

"There is a generation in their 30s [within Law and Justice] who are more pragmatic, who don't pay so much attention to the past and to history," Kwasniewski said.

Law and Justice’s recently re-elected chairman, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, however, does not see that as an option. Instead, Law and Justice could build a coalition with parts of the ruling Civic Platform, he said, which shares Law and Justice’s roots in the post-Solidarity movement.  

“That would be more natural, because you cannot talk with post-communists,” Jarosław Kaczynski added.

Head of the Law and Justice party also denied rumours that he would run for presidency instead of his twin brother, the current president Lech Kaczynski.

“Lech Kaczynski has a chance of keeping the office for the second term, he is totally independent and cannot be manipulated. He has the ability to build agreements, to talk with people,' Jarosław Kaczynski said about his brother Lech.” (jn/pg)
