The business with Dawton
Virtual Poland informed that in 2023 the Ministry of Agriculture and agrarian Development, then led by Robert Telus, was to agree to sale 160 hectares of land to the vice president of Dawton, Piotr Wielgomas. This area is to be crossed by a planned high-speed railway line from Warsaw to Central Communication Port. Dawton's owners had leased the game since 2008 and had previously unsuccessfully sought to buy it out.
According to the portal, as early as 2021 the State Water Farm of Poland informed – at the request of KOWR – that there was a natural liquid on the plot, which constitutes inland waters flowing and cannot be subject to civilian law trade. The findings of ‘WP’ besides show that Telus visited Dawton before the transaction was completed.
The portal stressed that the CPK had previously warned about possible irregularities, and erstwhile the company applied to KOWR for the essential game of land, it was informed that the Centre no longer had it. In connection with the reports, the PiS organization suspended both Robert Telus and his erstwhile deputy Rafał Romanowski in the rights of a member.
Tellus explains he didn't know
In a message published on platform X, Robert Telus stressed that he had no cognition of the plot's sale transaction or that it was traded. He added that he opposed the sale of state land. He besides pointed out that he full understood Jarosław Kaczyński's decision to suspend him in the rights of a organization member.
The politician besides pointed out that for a long time he has been powerfully opposed to the Mercosur agreement, which he considers to be harmful to Polish agriculture and beneficial mainly to abroad companies, especially German companies. He stressed that he was fighting to guarantee that Poland did not ratify the agreement, as he felt that it would pose a threat to national farmers, processing and food production. Telus estimated that his consistent attitude towards the Mercosur agreement had become the origin of attacks on him. At the same time, he assured that he did not intend to quit and will proceed to defend the interests of Polish agriculture, land and home enterprises.
Statement by Romanowski
Together with Robert Telus, Rafał Romanowski, erstwhile Deputy Minister of Agriculture, was besides suspended in the rights of a associate of the PiS. In a message published on the X platform, he wrote that the decision of the organization president had been taken with humility and understanding. He expressed the belief that all the circumstances of the case would be explained rapidly and reasonably and the facts made clear to the public. He besides ensured his readiness to cooperate with the competent institutions conducting the investigation and stressed that he wanted to resolve any doubts as shortly as possible.
I respect the President's decision as an expression of concern for the transparency and credibility of our political environment, which I have served with full commitment for many years. I've always advocated protecting state land from sale. I consider the land belonging to the Treasury to be a strategical national resource which must be protected and utilized in the interests of future generations. – reads the statement.
