Privatization of Orlen, Pekao S.A., and PKO BP? Hołownia: That's Petru's Private Opinion. We Absolutely Do Not Believe These Companies Should Be Privatized

Michał Lubowicki

- No, that is a private opinion [of Ryszard Petru regarding the privatization of Orlen, Pekao S.A., PKO BP]. He also expresses his private opinions sometimes. We absolutely do not believe that these mentioned companies should be privatized at this moment. I understand that Ryszard Petru may have a different opinion on this matter; we have discussed it. I pointed out to him that if he is part of the Third Way coalition's electoral list, then despite respecting his views, with which I do not always agree, greater consistency is sometimes needed here - said Szymon Hołownia in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on "Gość Radia ZET". - It will not hurt [us, Petru's statement]. I point out that I am the leader of Poland 2050, one of the leaders of the Third Way. Our party has expressed a clear stance on this matter - our priority is not privatization, but rather ordering the situation in State Treasury companies [...], getting rid of cronies [...]. I want there to be no people from Kaczyński's, Hołownia's, Tusk's, or Kosiniak-Kamysz's circles in Orlen, PKO BP, or Pekao S.A. Only specialists - he continued.
