Poland’s centrist opposition said on Tuesday it will maintain its near month-long blockade of parliament’s main hall if the ruling party tries to launch a new session this week, deepening a standoff over media rights and the budget vote.
The Civic Platform (PO) and the liberal Nowoczesna, Poland’s largest opposition groups, began protesting against the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party’s plan to curb media access to parliament by occupying the speakers’ podium in mid-December.
The next parliamentary session is due to begin on Wednesday. Grzegorz Schetyna, leader of the PO, said they would lift the blockade if parliament’s speaker resumed December’s session and returned to the budget vote.
