Audit at PZU: Tadeusz Rydzyk received compensation worth millions. “Like a golden calf”

The audit at PZU was supposed to show, among other things, the payment of PLN 10 million in compensation to a company building a geothermal power plant associated with Redemptorist Tadeusz Rydzyk. Robert Kropiwnicki, deputy minister of state assets, announced that the damage was reported only a decade after the event and compensation was paid. – Tadeusz Rydzyk was treated by all companies as a golden calf. (…) Few people could afford the damage to occur in 2009, report it in 2020, that is, after 10 years, and receive PLN 10 million in compensation in 2023, the deputy minister said.

Marcin Kierwiński, MEP for the Civic Coalition, commented on the matter on TVN24.

Tadeusz Rydzyk to Tusk: We will not use lies

I am addressing you, Mr Prime Minister, with reference to the frequent narrative of you and your political group about the “empire of Father Rydzyk”, about the previous government allegedly giving me huge sums of money. Mr Prime Minister, this is misleading the listeners. We work for the glory of God, for the common good, for our homeland, compatriots, people,” Tadeusz Rydzyk said on Radio Maryja, addressing Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Marcin Kierwiński: 10 million compensation for Tadeusz Rydzyk? PiS could not refuse

– Rydzyk did a lot for this power. In fact, he was running an election campaign and promotions – he said in an interview with TVN24 Marcin Kierwinski. As he noted, “all these events that PiS politicians promoted were nothing more than the direct involvement of a Toruń businessman in Law and Justice.” – They could not refuse, hence the extraordinary procedure. Probably no one in Poland has such a special way. But Rydzyk, as a businessman linked to Kaczyński, did – the MEP noted.

Adam Luboński of Poland 2050 also sees the issue in a similar way. – It is known that Father Rydzyk cooperated with the Law and Justice, especially with Minister Ziobro. He was a normal guy there. He felt at home there and helped with the campaigns, the politician said. – He bought the campaign (…) This is normal (for PiS – ed.), because more and more information is emerging that PiS attacked Poland, that it turned Poland into an ATM and took advantage of it. For a normal community, for the inhabitants of Poland, for citizens, this is abnormal. That is why we need to be responsible for this, he added. As he noted, “if more scandals like this emerge, we have to pursue them and account for them”. If we are talking about new companies today, it is a huge scandal that has been attacking Poles for the last eight years, especially in the last campaign – he said.
