WARSAW, Jan. 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Poland's ruling Law and Justice party is approaching towards a coalition with small opposition parties before the coming parliamentary vote on budget, party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski told reporters in parliament on Saturday.

    Conservative Law and Justice won September parliamentary elections, but coalition talks with the second one in the race, the pro-market Civic Platform, failed, leaving Law and Justice a minority government.

    "A government that does not have a majority in parliament does not really hold power and that should be changed," Kaczynski said.

    Difference between the parliament and the government over budget issues also forced the minority government seeking coalition partners before the Jan. 24 budget vote in parliament, in order to avoid a possible new parliamentary election.

    "I hope we will manage to create a coalition. I have reasons to believe this is a realistic perspective," Kaczynski said.

    Law and Justice is now discussing coalition affairs with two smaller parties, both the farm-based Self-Defense and the Polish Peasants' Party. However, Kaczynski suggested that teaming up with Civic Platform was also still an option.

    "Everything indicates the budget will be passed on Jan. 24. By this time a (coalition) deal must be made," the ruling party leader said, adding that more talks with potential partners will be held next week. Enditem
