Poll shows majority thinks Treasury seeks to recapture PZU through court action

A survey conducted by opinion pollster Pentor revealed that when asked what they think about the Treasury Ministry's intentions regarding the privatization of Poland's largest insurer Powszechny Zaklad Ubezpieczen (PZU), three quarters of people in management positions said that the Treasury Ministry's conflict with the Big Bank-Eureko consortium investor is intended to enable the government to regain control over PZU. A vast majority of the business people polled think Treasury Minister Andrzej Chronowski wants to keep the best positions at PZU for his proteges, one whom may be Wladyslaw Jamrozy, former PZU president and now a close associate of Chronowski. Another is Grzegorz Wieczerzak, who lost his former position at PZU Zycie. (Puls Biznesu, p.8)
