- First and foremost, I thank the employees and trade unionists from the Inowrocław salt mine, Solino, who, since March 15th, have seen not only the great danger of 1,500 people losing their jobs [...] but also a huge threat to the security of the Polish state. This is because the Inowrocław salt mines, owned by Orlen [...], are also a matter of state security. Seeing all this, they have been on a hunger strike since March 15th, which today will also be joined by MEP and former Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek - said Przemysław Czarnek at a press conference.

- When Daniel Obajtek managed Orlen, and Law and Justice held the reins of government, this mine extracted up to 7 times more brine than it extracts today - he continued.

- Furthermore, companies privatized in 2014 [...] are expected, according to all predictions, to be sold off to a German owner, a German concern, a German company that is to take over firms without which the future operations of the Solino mine are jeopardized - he further stated.

- This is a picture of misery and despair from Orlen, which does not care about the strategic interests of the Polish state, does not care about acquiring brine from here, but instead seeks goods, as we hear, also from Turkey - he added.
