The Supervisory Board of Energa dismissed President Jacek Goliński from the Management Board. His duties will be taken over by the current vice-president for corporate affairs, Iwona Waksmundzka-Olejniczak, until the appointment of a new president – the company informed.
Goliński is brother of the Law and Justice MP Małgorzata Golińska, who is the secretary of state in the Ministry of Climate and Environment. He was the president of the company from December 2019. It is not known whether the decision to dismiss him has anything to do with the so-called with a resolution on nepotism adopted in July by the ruling party.
It is about a resolution adopted at the last PiS Congress, which provides that spouses, children, siblings and parents of PiS deputies and senators cannot sit on supervisory boards of state-owned companies. The ban also applies to employing members of the immediate family of PiS deputies and senators in SP companies.

There are, however, exceptions to the resolution. The bans do not apply to people who have been “employed / working in the structures of State Treasury companies due to their competences, professional experience and at the same time an extraordinary life situation”.
From the end of April 2020, Energa belongs to the PKN Orlen capital group.
The media reported on Friday (July 16) that 13 family members of Law and Justice politicians lost their positions in state-owned companies. According to RMF FM, all of these people have submitted their resignations themselves, “which is to be the fulfillment of the resolution on the self-cleaning of the party of power”.
Among 13 people, which ceased to function was, among others Emilia Hermaszewska, wife of MEP Ryszard Czarnecki, which was on the supervisory board of Armatura Kraków, owned by PZU.
Karol Tchórzewski also resigned, son of the former Minister of Energy Krzysztof Tchórzewski, who sat on the supervisory board of Exalo Drilling, owned by PGNiG.
