WARSAW, March 31 (Xinhua) -- About 75 percent of
Poles advocate a national referendum on the installation of the U.S.
anti-missile shield in this country, Polish television reported Friday.
The results of a poll show that nearly three quarters of those surveyed
thought that the decision whether to install the U.S. anti-missile shield should
be decided through a national referendum. About 24 percent of Polish people
oppose the move, while three percent didn't express an opinion.
Some 49 percent of the Polish people oppose the
installation of the U.S. anti-missile shield, while 37 percent approve the idea.
Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski has said
several times that the government does not plan to hold a national referendum to
decide whether to install the U.S. anti-missile shield within its territory,
since the United States proposed to resume negotiations on the issue early this
year.
