Poland lifts price controls and raises energy costs
Poland announced a shift to a free market with price liberalization and energy rate increases of 80 to 100 percent. Postal services will rise about 60 percent and radio television fees 50 percent as basic goods move toward market levels amid a stalled economy and subsidy debt. The pope’s spokesman denied taking sides in the Polish political dispute, stating John Paul II is not backing Mazowiecki or Walesa.
