Scandal hit PKN Orlen say charges are politically motivated

According to the latest information, the supervisory board of Orlen will make personnel changes during its next meeting tomorrow. "I confirm this information. We cannot make any further comments," said Dawid Piekarz, spokesman of Orlen. "Despite the activities of the board, retail sales are falling and wholesale results are deteriorating also. Orlen is carrying out investment too slow," said a potential new member of the management board. He went on to say that too much money was spent on the unsuccessful acquisition of Turkish Tupras and Lithuanian Możejki, while conflict with the shareholders of Czech Agrofert is also disturbing. "Igor Chalupec is the best president of Orlen in its history. The strategy drafted under his supervision is coherent and reasonable," said Rafał Salwa, an independent analyst.(Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 10)  M.M.
