Poland’s ruling coalition sought to turn the page on the crisis sparked by the defeat of its candidate in presidential elections, vowing to rejuvenate the pro-European Union alliance halfway through the parliamentary term.
“The coalition is in good shape,” Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, the leader of the Polish Peasants Party, told reporters Thursday following a meeting of leaders from the ruling alliance. “Emotions were high but we found common ground.”
