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 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 Patriokrata wrote that "the failures of distributors" at Orlen before the elections in 2023 were estimated to cost the company 4.1 billion PLN. He estimated the losses related to the Olefins III project at 7 billion PLN, and the effects of the merger with Lotos at 5 billion PLN. He described the issue of Venezuelan oil as a scam worth, according to him, 1.6 billion PLN. He ended the post with an ironic designation of Daniel Obajtek as a "master of business." https://t.co/EH3UgJM7JB #Orlen #biznes #finanse (translated)

The author expressed solidarity with Daniel Obajtek and the detained managers of Orlen. He described the detentions as absurd and called them a political spectacle. He wrote that Obajtek has been leading the largest Polish company for years and is currently one of the main targets of the political dispute surrounding Orlen. He assured that he would not be intimidated. https://t.co/WukwFfxYL6 #Orlen #Polska #Polityka #PL (translated)

Krzysztof Sałek from KO Stalowa Wola wrote that a few hours earlier, Daniel Obajtek argued on television that there was no fuel shortage, and Orlen had reserves. He added that Minister Żurek published a graphic indicating that on September 6, 2023, under Obajtek's presidency, Orlen introduced a procedure requiring employees to report malfunctions, not fuel shortages. https://t.co/xDDvdDIs0i #Obajtek #Orlen #Polska (translated)

Aneta ObserwatorXY pointed out a statement by Obajtek, who — as reported by WP — described the failure of the distributors as an element of strategy and indicated the election calendar as its cause. She asked whether this statement could harm him. #Polska #wybory #awaria (translated)

"I remind you that it was Donald Tusk in 2023 who claimed that fuel could be 5.19 when it cost around 6 PLN. He also said that 'it's not about maximizing profits, but about maximizing the well-being of Poles.' So what is the final version of the smiling Coalition? And if I am to be held responsible for the fact that Poles - not only in 2023 but also in previous years - paid little for fuel, I will be honored. This is probably the first case in history where the government is held accountable for the fact that Poles filled up cheaply." Former Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek also commented on the prosecutor's information. #Orlen #paliwa #śledztwo (translated)

"In autumn 2023, Daniel 'I can do anything' Obajtek manually controlled prices at the gas stations. Lowering prices against the market just before the elections and shamelessly convincing Poles of 'distributor malfunctions' - this was not some economic miracle. It was an action detrimental to the national wealth, in order to save the party's power." Minister of Justice Waldemar Żurek has already responded to the information about the detentions. #Orlen #paliwa #śledztwo (translated)

In autumn 2023, Daniel 'I can do anything' Obajtek manually controlled prices at gas stations. Undercutting prices contrary to the market just before the elections and brazenly convincing Poles of 'distributor malfunctions' – this was not some economic miracle. It was an action to the detriment of national assets to save the power of the party. Waldemar Żurek commented on the arrests in service X. #Orlen #paliwa #ABW (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 author reminded that during the 2023 campaign, PiS and Daniel Obajtek artificially lowered fuel prices, which — as he wrote — led to a "failure" of dispensers across the country. He stated that at the prosecutor's request, the ABW detained five people the day before in this matter and claimed that the actions had a political background. https://t.co/wizQH8rjQn #Polska #paliwo #Polityka #PL (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that the Internal Security Agency detained former managers of Orlen from the time of Obajtek, including a board member. He claimed that the arrests were the result of his notification from October 2023 and the depletion of strategic reserves from the caverns near Inowrocław. He added that those detained were responsible for unjustifiably lowering fuel prices during Obajtek's government. https://t.co/f92yuMNIrA #Orlen #ABW #Obajtek #PL (translated)

The author wrote that yesterday ABW officers detained five current and former managers of Orlen S.A. at the request of the Łódź Department for Organized Crime of the National Public Prosecutor's Office. Among those detained was a former member of the company's management board from 2018 to 2024. #Orlen #przestępczość #ABW #PL (translated)

Daniel Obajtek, a Member of the European Parliament from PiS and former president of Orlen, advocates for a reduction in health insurance contributions for entrepreneurs, arguing that the current regulations under the Polish Order burden companies too much, which bear greater financial risk. #Ekonomia #Przedsiębiorcy #PolskiŁad (translated)
