Renata Gruszczyńska, a councilor in the city of Kielce, has become the president of a large arms company, Mesko. Previously, she managed a regional municipal services company, which has nothing to do with the arms industry.
Polish Armament Group (PGZ), the main shareholder of Mesko, did not provide information as to why Gruszczyńska, a politician, was chosen for this position.
PGZ did not want to provide information about who the other applicants for the position were.
Mesko is a very important Polish manufacturer of ammunition, the factory also produces the Piorun missile systems, which proved their effectiveness during the war in Ukraine.
Wirtualna Polska (Virtual Poland) tried to talk to Gruszczyńska herself about the whole matter, but it was not possible to arrange an interview because, as journalists at Mesko were told… “we are on holiday break”.
