Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has publicly denounced a failed oil procurement deal involving the state-owned energy company Orlen. According to a report by the Financial Times, the firm lost approximately 230 million dollars while attempting to purchase Venezuelan oil through unsecured payments, intermediaries, and cryptocurrency transfers. Tusk described the incident as a significant embarrassment for Poland on the international stage and characterized the transaction as an example of irregular business practices occurring during the tenure of the previous Law and Justice administration. At the time of these events, Orlen was managed by Daniel Obajtek, who currently serves as a member of the European Parliament for the PiS party. The Prime Minister's remarks highlight ongoing scrutiny regarding the management of state assets under the prior political leadership.
