Belka demands dismissal of PKN Orlen president

Treasury Minister Jacek Socha has given Orlen's supervisory board members an ultimatum: either they make sweeping changes to the management board themselves or he will do it for them. Prime Minister Marek Belka stated that directors whose actions are being investigated by a Sejm commission could not lead a company that is partly state owned. The commission will examine the agreements signed by former Orlen's presidents, but its most current issue is the context of the dismissal of Orlen's former president Andrzej Modrzejewski. Former treasury minister Wiesław Kaczmarek revealed that Modrzejewski was dismissed with Leszek Miller's consent and with the illegal use of the secret service.
