Rachoń informed that the lawsuits will also target the editorial offices, and the companies publishing both titles will be pursued for acts of unfair competition. He added that Telewizja Republika will seek damages in the form of contributions to the Fundacja Republika. He also tagged Tomasz Sakiewicz, Jarosław Olechowski, and Telewizja Republika in the post. #dezinformacja #WładimirPutin #media (translated)

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)

Filip Dąb-Mirowski wrote that Donald Trump announced an agreement with Vladimir Putin regarding the resumption of Russian diesel exports to international markets. According to the author, the U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended related sanctions until April 7, 2027. Dąb-Mirowski assessed that sales could provide Russia with funds for further waging war, as the planned budget deficit was expected to be twice as high as initially anticipated, and the economy and finances were experiencing the greatest collapse since the 1990s. He also wrote that Putin was cutting social spending, directing funds to the military. The author noted that Russia would not be able to supply the planned volumes, reaching 3 million tons, in the foreseeable future. He cited the shutdown of the largest refineries due to Ukrainian airstrikes, limited maritime export capabilities, and prioritization of domestic market supply as reasons. He added that supplies of that size would not impact the global market, as they would be too small relative to its needs. Dąb-Mirowski speculated that the agreement could precede an American ultimatum to Ukraine to stop attacks on Russian petrochemicals. He also pointed out that it was announced during a visit by a Ukrainian delegation to Florida, where they were supposed to prepare a peace plan together with American negotiators. According to the author, President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed frustration that Ukraine was acting as a shield for negotiations with Russia. The author claimed that the Republicans were heading for a historic defeat in the upcoming midterms, which were to take place in four weeks, and Trump wanted to lower fuel prices in the U.S. Dąb-Mirowski indicated the Strait of Hormuz as the heart of the problem, which — he wrote — Trump had failed to resolve. He summarized that in his opinion, this confirmed the pro-Russian nature of the current U.S. administration. #Trump #Putin #sankcje (translated)

Currently, the government will have to consider whether the acquisition of the TVN company by a firm directly linked to representatives of the American administration, which officially describes Putin as its friend, and the President of the USA, who hangs a photo from the meeting with Putin in the White House, poses a danger or not for Poland," Giertych states on platform X. #TVN #media #przejęcie (translated)

Sławek Jastrzębowski wrote that in 2024 Donald Tusk listed TVN as a strategic company to prevent any potential takeover of the station by Russia.

The author of the post accused Daniel Obajtek of confusing the company's financial result with the loss resulting from a specific decision. He emphasized that the accusation concerning ORLEN was not related to the accounting loss of 4.1 billion PLN in the third quarter of 2023, but rather to the damage that, in his opinion, could have been caused by a specific pricing policy. The author pointed out that the company could have made a billion-dollar profit while also suffering a loss if, without that decision, its result would have been higher. He added that an increase in sales volume did not rule out losses on margin from lowered prices. He assessed that a person who publicly struggles to distinguish these concepts should not have been in charge of the largest Polish corporation. Obajtek's subsequent posts also prompted him to ponder how the former CEO of ORLEN ended up in that position. #ORLEN #finanse #polityka (translated)

The author of the post claimed that a group associated with the Russian Mikhail P. earned millions of zlotys through shell companies and universities.

AlkoInwestor wrote that his ETF on the S&P 500 was reaching new heights. He described an imagined journey on the Łódź public transport, during which he wanted to thank passengers for their purchases that support companies in the index. Among the examples, he mentioned using Instagram on an iPhone, drinking Coca-Cola, working on a laptop with Windows, eating McDonald's, browsing Amazon, and watching YouTube. He also added Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Starbucks. He presented the passengers as people who earned money and then spent it on products and services from companies in which, as he wrote, he was an indirect co-owner. The author announced that he would be buying more ETF units every month and checking whether people were working hard enough. He linked this to a call for them to buy, subscribe, scroll through social media, change phones every two years, and choose large fries at McDonald's. #inwestowanie #finanse #ETF (translated)

The Institute of Truth informed that the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has filed an indictment in court against eight individuals regarding irregularities at the National Centre for Research and Development. According to the description, they were accused of, among other things, participating in a criminal organization, fraud to the detriment of NCBiR, issuing false VAT invoices, and money laundering. Investigators established that between 2021 and 2023, companies were created without any actual research and development activities to obtain public funds. The author described SMS correspondence from 2017 between Adam Bielan, his wife Klaudia, and Piotr M., the president of Chime Networks and one of the main accused. The company sought around 123 million PLN for the "Cable" project concerning underwater fiber optic infrastructure. According to the accounts from journalists of the podcast "In Connection with the Investigation," Dominika Długosz and Mariusz Gierszewski, Bielan was supposed to assist in organizing a meeting between Piotr M. and a Qatari delegation, and his wife received a presentation from the company and declared she would pass it on to her husband. Bielan was not charged. The Institute of Truth emphasized that Bielan had denied any close relationship with Piotr M. and involvement in the "Cable" project. He claimed to have met him through Jacek Żalek, and the meeting with the Qataris was of a courtesy nature; later, he was supposed to warn against the project. Żalek, on the other hand, maintained that Bielan and Piotr M. had known each other for years. The author recalled that Żalek was accused, among other things, of exceeding authority and accepting bribes, while the European Prosecutor's Office accused Piotr M. of attempting to defraud funding. The contract for 123 million PLN was ultimately not signed. The author stressed that the correspondence from 2017 does not prove Bielan's involvement in the later grant application, but indicates his contacts with the entrepreneur and assistance in organizing a high-level meeting. He added that Bielan was not included in the indictment. #InstytutPrawdy #NCBiR #oszustwa #przestępczość (translated)

Michal Rachoń announced that attorney Artur Wdowczyk would file lawsuits the following day against the authorities of TVN, the company itself, and individuals who — he claimed — spread falsehoods about 37 million. He added that in addition to civil suits, it was planned to notify the relevant institutions about the suspicion of committing crimes and unfair competition. Rachoń wrote that compensation was to be sought from both the editorial office and personally from those involved in this campaign. He stated that invoices issued to Zonda were published, while TVN24 did not, and he again asked when TVN would disclose the advertising revenues from ZondaCrypto. #TVN #Zonda #kłamstwa (translated)

The author asked Obajtek whether he had read the prosecutor's statement carefully and suggested that his answer concerned a different matter. He wrote that the proceedings do not relate to the fact that Poles were filling up at low prices, but to specific suspicions of crimes, acting to the detriment of the company, irregularities in management, and decisions made by individuals associated with Orlen. He added that the low price of fuel does not exclude criminal liability nor does it prove proper management of the company. He called on Obajtek to address the accusations and ongoing proceedings. #Orlen #prokuratura #odpowiedzialność (translated)

The ORLEN Press Office alleged that in 2023 the company, without a legal basis and in violation of its own procedures, artificially lowered fuel prices to influence the outcome of the parliamentary elections. According to the office, these actions led to violations of fuel reserves, problems for drivers with refueling, and sales below market prices. ORLEN's losses were estimated at 3.5 billion PLN, and Poland's western neighbors reportedly bought over 80 million liters of fuel in the country at that time. The office claimed that selling below market prices halved the fuel import to Poland. It pointed out that imports covered one third of domestic consumption, and prices in Poland had to follow the quotes of refined fuels in global markets so that importers would not have to sell them cheaper than they bought them. The Polish Organization of the Oil Industry and Trade reported the cessation of imports, and the matter was handled by the prosecutor's office. The office stated that from the beginning of July to the end of September 2023, global diesel prices increased by about 40%, while Poland was the only EU country where fuel prices fell. It also noted that the fuel crisis it described at the time was due to a shortage of refining capacity and the supply of refined fuels, rather than oil prices. #Polska #kryzys #paliwa (translated)

The prosecutor's office reported that at the request of the prosecutor from the Łódź division of the PZ PK, the ABW officers detained five former and current managers of Orlen S.A. yesterday, including a former board member of the company from 2018 to 2024. According to the prosecutor's office, all of them were charged in an investigation conducted for over two years, concerning the baseless underpricing of fuel from August to November 2023. It added that procedural activities were still ongoing and that details would be provided after their completion. #Orlen #paliwa #śledztwo (translated)
