I advise everyone to buy fuel, because it is not known whether prices will rise after the elections – said former Prime Minister, MEP Marek Belka.
Information has appeared on the Internet, from opposition politicians and their supporters, that PKN Orlen management is trying to cover up fuel shortages at the company’s stations.
“Once again we see a situation where some politicians are trying to destabilize the fuel market in Poland and create panic by using outdated information. We were dealing with the same false story when the war broke out in Ukraine,” we can read in a statement from the press service of the Płock group.
This is how PKN Orlen responded to the submission of Roman Giertych, who posted a photo of queues in front of a gas station on social media. Based on the quality of the photo, it could not be determined whether it was taken in Poland (the license plates were blurred). Despite this, Giertych claimed that “at some stations fuel rationing has already started.”
Belka: I recommend buying fuel
– I advise everyone to buy fuel, because we do not know if prices will rise after the elections – said former Prime Minister and currently MEP Marek Belka on Friday in the program ‘Guest of Events’ on Polsat News.
The politician also commented on the latest inflation data in Poland. The Central Bureau of Statistics reported that inflation was 8.2% in September. Every year. It was the first time since February 2022 that a single-digit reading was recorded. – I am always happy about the decline in inflation, because it will be closer to the inflation target, which is 2.5 percent, but my joy is moderate – said Belka, who headed the National Bank of Poland in 2010-2016.
– If I were the President of the National Bank of Poland, I would point out that inflation is slowing down, but I would also point out that there is still a long way to reach the inflation target – he stressed.
