Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Polish parliamentary speakers and political party leaders are meeting today to debate calling an extraordinary session to vote on dissolving the assembly and holding early elections.

The move comes from Citizens' Platform, the largest opposition party, which demanded an extra parliamentary session ahead of the next scheduled sitting on Oct. 10, after an official of the ruling Law & Justice party was taped offering inducements to an opposition lawmaker to switch sides.

President Lech Kaczynski, twin brother of Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said today that the attempt to persuade Self Defense deputy Renata Beger to change sides was ``normal practice'' and that there was no crisis in Poland.

``The last year has been a good one for Poland, one could say even the best since 1989,'' said Kaczynski in a televised press conference from the northern town of Szczecin.

Law & Justice is seeking to regain a majority by asking lawmakers of former coalition partner Self Defense and the Polish Peasants' Party to support it after the Prime Minister fired Deputy Premier Andrzej Lepper, the head of Self Defense.

Talks Inconclusive

Speaker Marek Jurek, a member of the ruling Law & Justice party, called a meeting with his deputies and the leaders of all six parties present in parliament at 3 p.m. after talks this morning with the five deputy speakers ended inconclusively.

``People hostile to the changes we have undertaken were the ones who organized this provocation,'' said Prime Minister Kaczynski in an address to the nation broadcast on public television late yesterday. ``We are going to continue the direction we have taken and seek support for this government.''

Sixty-four percent of Poles believe that parliament should be dissolved and early elections held, a PGB DGA poll of 500 voters taken yesterday and published in today's Gazeta Wyborcza daily newspaper showed. About 200 people protested yesterday in central Warsaw, demanding the government's dismissal.

A two-thirds majority is needed in parliament to dissolve the assembly. Law & Justice has 154 seats in the 460-seat chamber.
