Marek Borowski from the Left and Democrats (LiD) accused on Polish Radio, Friday, both parties in the ongoing conflict between government and president, of ill will.

Borowski said that the current ‘cohabitation’ crisis might be the effect of a lack of clear provisions regulating the president’s area of competence.

The conflict involves to what extent President Kaczynski should intervene in matters of foreign and defense policy and secret services.

The LiD MP added that the government’s constant assurances of good intentions regarding relations with the president rarely translated into positive action.

Appointment of head of the secret services by Civic Platform without asking for the president’s opinion was aimed to strengthen Donald Tusk’s position as PM, Borowski told Polish Radio.

The conflict between the PM and president broke out when Lech Kaczyński summoned foreign minister Radosław Sikorski to a meeting at the presidential palace on Monday, forcing Sikorski to interrupt an important lunch meeting with EU politicians in Brussels.

The presidential palace has maintained that it was strictly Sikorski’s own decision to cut his Brussels lunch meeting short, as the head of the presidential chancellery, minister Anna Fotyga who had telephoned foreign minister at Brussels, did not suggest any specific time for his meeting with the president.
