Big change in the energy sector. Mateusz Morawiecki fires Piotr Naimski

Poland's main proponent of energy independence is leaving the government. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has abruptly sacked Piotr Naimski from his post.

Naimski described the circumstances of his resignation on Facebook.

"I am using this form to notify you that I have received my resignation letter from the position of Government Commissioner for Strategic Energy Infrastructure and Secretary of State in the Prime Minister's Office, effective July 20. In an oral explanation, I was told that I was unfit for cooperation and that "I block everything", - Naimski wrote.

Piotr Naimski has served as state secretary of the Chancellery and government commissioner since 2015.

The energy crisis is unfolding in Poland after the country banned imports of coal from Russia as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
