Patryk Jaki raises concerns about a wind power controversy, highlighting what he describes as troubling actions by the European Commission and Germany.
In a post and accompanying recording on the X platform, Patryk Jaki outlines what he sees as the motives behind Poland’s latest push to expand wind energy production.
1. Across Europe there are claims that a German wind turbine manufacturer is approaching bankruptcy due to losses tied to wind power production, with estimates around 4.5 billion euros in deficits.
Shortly after, the European Union, together with the German leadership, approves a 5 billion euro package for Poland, supposedly allocated to ecological and wind turbine projects.
3. A notable issue raised is Polish legislation that shields residents from expropriation when wind farm investments are at stake. A parliamentary project linked to the ruling coalition seems to allow the construction of large wind turbines as tall as 300 meters, with provisions to expropriate land if objections arise.

Advisor to Hołownia
Jaki then points to connections among politicians associated with Szymon Hołownia, arguing that Hołownia’s team pushed the wind project forward. He notes that Hołownia reportedly has an advisor whose spouse works for a wind turbine company.
What does this mean in practice? Jaki argues that even before taking office, Hołownia’s circle could be seen pursuing measures favorable to German interests, with the potential for expropriation and profits diverted to lobbyists and foreign partners.
The speaker contends that this pattern could lead to greater costs for Polish citizens, with the risk of a shift in power dynamics and increased influence from foreign stakeholders.
He also criticizes Hołownia as inconsistent in his stance and suggests his position would favor a broader European framework, including a move toward a cashless and centralized state structure, and faces scrutiny for alleged lobbyist influence. The claim is that ordinary Poles would bear the burden of such decisions.
According to the speaker, Hołownia’s supporters and advisers are under the spotlight for potential conflicts of interest and the broader implications for national energy policy.
Tusk’s decisions
Jaki also comments on shifts in the value of Orlen shares, tying the recent decisions of the Tusk team to mixed market signals. He claims that in the past couple of days the political leadership could be viewed as diminishing a domestic champion while boosting a foreign counterpart, and questions whether this aligns with the expectations of their electorate.
