Poland's Iron Lady glows read hot with fury at PZU Commission's report

This is their response to the commission's latest accusations concerning the irregularities at the privatization of PZU. "No more impunity of the members of the PZU commission. No more lack of objectivity, truisms and clichés not supported by evidence," said Kamela-Sowińska during a press conference. According to the Commission, Kamela-Sowińska exceeded her authority in 2001 when she signed an annex to the PZU privatization agreement, which granted the sale of 21% of PZU shares to Eureko. Leszek Miller's government failed to fulfill the obligation, and now Poland has to pay compensation to Eureko. Kamela-Sowińska defended herself saying that she did not violate law. "It was the Commission who overused their powers, for they can't put forward a motion for putting me in front of the State Tribunal," she said. Karol Miłek, former head of the strategic companies department  in the Treasury Ministry (MSP), stated that the fact that the commission did not even interrogate him shows "the lack of basic sense of justice."
