Storm breaks over dismissal of Treasury Minister and privatization of G-8

As a consequence they are demanding that a Sejm debate be tabled to discuss the decision and the allegedly correlated privatization of the G-8 energy group. It appeared that a decision to halt the privatization was about to be taken, as the offer of the only interested investor, Kulczyk Holding, was criticized by the Treasury Minister's adviser and ministry officials alike. Prime Minister Leszek Miller announced that the reason for Czyżewski's dismissal was the low level of revenues from privatization. However, this explanation is even questioned by several Democratic Left Alliance deputies, including former Treasury Minister, Wiesław Kaczmarek. "This is a scandal, the government and the public interest have fallen into the hands of an oligarchy. The situation can be compared to what is happening in countries to the East of Poland," announced the leader of Law and Justice, Jarosław Kaczyński, who demanded that the Internal Security Agency investigate the connections between officials and Kulczyk.
