LPR demands renationalizations

The party also demands that the assets of all companies which were privatized in violation of the law should be returned to the state budget. No specific companies were mentioned.According to LPR deputy Wojciech Wierzejski, this mostly concerns privatization of strategic companies, such as energy concerns and banks.There are accusations of corruption as well as undervaluation of companies."The value of seized assets would be higher than potential compensation,"said Wierzejski. According to Malgorzata Pomianowska, spokeswoman of the Supreme Chamber of Inspection (NIK), if someone wants to look for irregularities, then they can be found for many cases. "I admit that I did not like some privatizations, but transferring privatized companies back to the state will not bring about any results. The state will always be a worse owner than a private investor," said Robert Gwiazdowski, head of Adam Smith Center. (Parkiet, pp.1, 2) M.M.
