Poland should hold referendum before deciding on euro - president


    KRYNICA-ZDROJ, Poland (Reuters) - Poland should hold a referendum following a public debate on whether it should enter the euro zone, the president Andrzej Duda said on Tuesday.

    "I think that ultimately there should be a referendum on this issue after a thorough debate," Duda said.

    Earlier this year Law and Justice, the party that supported Duda in a presidential campaign, expressed the view that Poland should join the euro zone no earlier than when Poles' salaries are equal to the German ones.
