One of the members of the Club of Jewish Deputies in the Polish Sejm may be elevated to the position of Vice-President of the Polish Parliament as a result of the new political situation now prevailing in the Sejm.
The situation was created following the resignation of the Vice-Speaker of the Sejm. Poniatowski, who accepted a government position. According to the tradition of the Polish Sejm the second largest group is entitled to delegate one of its members to the position. Since the recent split in the Radical Polish Peasants’ Party, Wizwolenic, the Club of Jewish Deputies is the second largest group in the Sejm.
