ABSTRACT
1. General Jaruzelski announced to the PZPR Central Committee on 30 June that he did not intend to stand for President. In a statesmanlike address, broadcast on Polish TV, he said that having taken ‘social realities’ into account, he was aware that public opinion associated him more often with martial law than with reform. The key issue for Poland, was integration and national agreement. He was therefore asking the Central Committee to nominate Kiszczak instead.
