"Torpid tool" Kaniewski must explain G8 sale or face vote of no confidence

Opposition deputies threatened that if the transaction is carried out then they would try to block it in the Sejm. Their stance is now also supported by some Democratic Left Alliance deputies, partly as a result of Kaniewski's sacking of the Nafta Polska board and changes to the overall strategy for the chemical sector. "Regretfully, I believe that the Minister is just a torpid tool," said Małgorzata Ostrowska, a former Deputy Treasury Minister. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 20) M.M.
