Poland - Factors to Watch March 20
Following are news stories, press reports and events to watch that may affect Poland's financial markets on Monday. ALL TIMES GMT (Poland: GMT + 1 hour):
PARTY POLL
Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party's public opinion support fell by 5 percentage points to 29 percent, while the biggest opposition Civic Platform (PO) rose by 10 points to 27 percent, according to a poll conducted by IBRiS pollster and published by Rzeczpospolita daily.
The change in support is the result of PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski's lost battle aimed at stopping the European Union from choosing his political arch rival Donald Tusk for the European Council head post, the daily said.
KACZYNSKI
Kaczynski told wSieci weekly that the European Union's decision to choose Tusk against the Polish government's will discredited the opposition, as it was not able to be loyal to the whole country.
KGHM
Copper miner KGHM Polska Miedz SA is not considering selling its Chilean mine Sierra Gorda despite heavy losses, Chief Executive Radoslaw Domagalski-Labedzki told Dziennik Gazeta Prawna daily.
