On June 20-21, Gdynia hosted the 5th edition of the Development Vision Forum. During the event, topics related to the most important challenges facing the Polish economy were discussed. The agenda was devoted to issues such as energy, finance, industry, innovation, maritime economy, and the labor market. PKN ORLEN and Grupa LOTOS have just agreed and signed a merger plan involving transfer of the LOTOS assets to PKN ORLEN. The director of the Strategy and Strategic Products Office of PKN Orlen Karol Wolff spoke about this in the "Economics Report" program.
The main factory siren in the Joseph Stalin Poznań Metal Works (ZISPO, then called the Hipolit Cegielski Metal Works) was a signal for workers to start a demonstration against poor wages and deteriorating working conditions in 1956. It was something that the present authorities could not ignore.
