...settled, but now is not the time. Now is the time to revive the Lebanese national dialogue and restore relations between the various sects and political parties.

They are staunch social conservatives who would like to see the death penalty reinstated and are intent on purging Polish political and judicial circles of the last vestiges of Communist rule, which they blame for most of Poland's ongoing economic and political problems. Relations with Russia have deteriorated under their governance: a European Union effort to sign a new deal with Russia on energy investment collapsed on November 24 partly because of Polish objections.
