WARSAW: Who’s the president of Poland? Depending on what time the question is asked on Thursday, there may be three answers.
Poland’s constitution has created an unusual situation in the transition to a new head of state following the April 10 death of president Lech Kaczynski in a plane crash. Bronislaw Komorowski, as parliament’s speaker, automatically became the acting president when Kaczynski died and also won the presidential runoff election on Sunday.
When Komorowski gave up the speaker’s job on Thursday morning, senate speaker Bogdan Borusewicz became acting president. He will fill the spot for about 10 hours until lawmakers elect Grzegorz Schetyna as speaker, making him acting president until Komorowski takes the oath of office in coming weeks.
