Poland's MPs Want Early Pullout from Iraq

Politics | March 18, 2004, Thursday // 00:00

Polish members of parliament called on Thursday for withdrawing the country's 2500 troops from Iraq.

"Let's put an end to the spiralling violence in Iraq! We want all our troops out", Kristina Sienkewicz, member of the Upper Chamber of the Polish Parliament, said at a press conference in Warsaw, as cited by Gazeta-Ru.

The MPs called on all Poles to rally against the occupation of Iraq in a protest march on March 20 in the center of Warsaw.

The calls for bringing home the Polish troops in Iraq came several days after Spain's prime minister-elect Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said his position on withdrawing troops from Iraq is unchanged despite an appeal from US President George Bush.

Zapatero claims he will pull out Spain's 1,300 troops unless the UN intervenes in Iraq.
