President Kwaśniewski to face Orlen Commission as Kulczyk leaves Poland

The place of hearing is still unknown, but it will be open to the media. Kwaśniewski was summoned because he was mentioned several times in the testimonies of the main characters of the PKN Orlen affair. Among others, he is accused of having played a role in deciding the composition of the supervisory board of the concern. Apart from that, his name is said to have emerged several times during the talk between Jan Kulczyk and the Russian spy Alganov. Several days ago, Kwaśniewski still believed that he would not face the Sejm Commission. Meanwhile, the Commission decided to schedule it for February 26, unless the date collides with the President's duties. The Commission is also planning to summon Marek Ungier and Kulczyk later this month, even though Kulczyk's power to attorney said Kulczyk will be out of the country for the next two months.
