The Institute of Truth wrote that in December 2014, Daniel Obajtek testified as a witness in the trial of Roman and Józef Lis, who were accused of fraudulently obtaining around 200 thousand złoty in EU subsidies. According to the institute, Obajtek denied at that time that he was a silent partner of TT Plast and stated that he owned shares briefly, many years before assuming the office of the mayor of Pcim. He was also said to have testified that as mayor he did not hold any positions in the company nor managed it, and did not collaborate with an employee named Szymon. The institute reminded that in February 2021, "Gazeta Wyborcza" published recordings of conversations from 2009 in which Obajtek allegedly discussed clients, taking over contracts from Elektroplast, and matters concerning TT Plast. The newspaper reported that employees of the company referred to Obajtek as a silent partner. In 2016, Roman Lis filed a report of suspected false testimony and attached recordings. The prosecutor's office refused to initiate an investigation after about a month, finding that there were no signs of a prohibited act. According to the Institute of Truth, Obajtek denied breaking the law, admitted that he had once been a shareholder and knew the owners, but maintained that as mayor he did not work for TT Plast or any other company, and the recordings did not prove a crime. Orlen's office described the publication as a manipulation based on recordings of undetermined integrity. The institute assessed that the testimonies about the lack of professional relations with the company and not managing it did not withstand confrontation with the recordings. #InstytutPrawdy #Obajtek #prawo #korupcja (translated)

The spokesperson for the President of the Republic of Poland, Rafał Leśkiewicz, said on Radio Jedynka that the United States conducted a review of its military forces in Europe. Its results were to be included in a document that would first go to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and likely be presented to Donald Trump around the turn of November and December. According to Leśkiewicz, a decision about the deployment of American forces in Europe would then be made. He added that Poland should strive to have a base located in the country and assessed that the statements of Prime Minister Donald Tusk suggesting a different course for the conversation between Trump and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz did not help in this regard. Leśkiewicz stated that the president hoped until the end for the ruling party to prepare a solution in accordance with the constitution but did not want Poles to remain hostages of Tusk's politics. He accused the prime minister of using fuel prices in political disputes and attributed the responsibility for their high prices during the summer period to the ruling party. The spokesperson also argued that the laws vetoed by the president left several billion zlotys in the pockets of Poles, which they could manage in a difficult economic situation. Speaking about the president's visit to the Philippines, Leśkiewicz described it as the first historic visit of a Polish president to that country. He informed that Karol Nawrocki opened the Polish-Filipino business summit dedicated to the IT industry, organized since 2022, and delivered a lecture at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. He added that the Philippines bought Polish Black Hawk helicopters and were to acquire more, and he regarded the development of economic cooperation with this country as important. The spokesperson said that the international actions of the president conducted since the beginning of the year aimed to support Poland's permanent presence in the G20 group, develop economic cooperation, attract capital, and facilitate Polish companies in obtaining contracts. He emphasized that Poland was interested in ensuring that the invitation to the G20 was not a one-time event. He pointed out that good relations with the United States were key, reminding that it was Donald Trump's decision that invited Poland to the group. He added that President Karol Nawrocki sought further allies, and the government should support these efforts. At the same time, he described the economic situation as a deepening crisis, indicating a high deficit and budget gap. #Polska #G20 #USA (translated)
