Only two Jews will be named by President Moscicki to the Polish Senate, it was made clear today following an inquiry by a Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent at a press conference in the Foreign Office on the results of the last Sejm elections. It had been previously announced that three Jews would be named.
This small number of Jewish senators is a result of the abstinence of Jews from participation in the elections, it was declared.
The President will name 32 senators, according to the new constitutional laws on elections.
