Ministry doubles its efforts to purge KGHM's president

"One of the points on the agenda are the issues related to replacing the president," said a member of the supervisory board. This will be the second attempt to sack current CEO Wiktor Błądek, as some of the supervisory board members appointed by the State Treasury did not vote in favor of the motion, most likely due to strong opposition from trade unions. Due to this, the Ministry made changes to the composition of the supervisory board and the cards now seem stacked against Błądek. "The corridors of KGHM are awash with rumors that the most likely new president is the current deputy president Andrzej Szczepek," said a source in the firm. Other candidates are the second deputy president Marek Szczerbiak and former president Stanisław Siewierski. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) M.M.
