The Polish Peasant Party (PSL) parliamentary caucus is going to ask its leader and Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kalinowski for clarification of the government's plans to sell land in Poland to EU farmers after a three-year lease.
The previous day, Foreign Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz announced in Brussels that the government approved plans for EU citizens to buy second homes and land for summer homes in Poland after a seven-year transition period, and for EU farmers to buy land for cultivation after a three-year lease. PSL lawmaker Zbigniew Kuzmiuk said this announcement is "strange and imprecise." Self-Defense leader Andrzej Lepper said Cimoszewicz's announcement came as a surprise to him, adding that his party firmly opposes such plans. The League of Polish Families condemned these concessions, adding that they will be opposed in a referendum on Poland's EU membership.
