Polish prime minister threatened with non confidence vote

Polish government opposition party Civic Platform has announced that it will submit a motion of no-confidence in the Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski this afternoon after a meeting with the President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski. The leaders of Civic Platform will hold a press conference at 1600 today after that meeting.

In a sudden turn of events, former coalition party Samoobrona, which party has been courting the Prime Minister's party to re-enter the Polish Government Coalition, has said that it will support the motion of no-confidence in the Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski.

At the present time it appears that there are not enough votes in the Polish Parliament to force new elections. But a vote of no-confidence in the Polish Prime Minister could force a change in the government.
