Michał Fijoł has reportedly been dismissed as the CEO of Polish Airlines LOT, according to unofficial sources. The decision came on the same day the Polish Aviation Group (PGL), LOT’s parent company, was moved under the oversight of the Ministry of Infrastructure. This shift is tied to consolidating transport projects, including the construction of the Central Communication Port (CPK).
Government Coalition Tensions
Unconfirmed reports suggest internal disputes within the government coalition played a significant role in Fijoł’s removal. Sources claim that factions loyal to Poland 2050, a party affiliated with opposition figures, clashed with others over key positions. Allegedly, figures close to Szymon Hołownia orchestrated the dismissal before losing control over PGL’s management.
This incident underscores growing power struggles in Poland’s political landscape. The transfer of PGL’s supervision highlights the government’s focus on integrating national infrastructure, but the underlying discord may pose challenges to such ambitions. Observers expect further turbulence as coalition disagreements intensify.
