Polish MP Marcin Horała says he met twice with Dawtona owners in June and November 2023, that the talks did not cover selling the 160‑hectare Zabłotn site to the Central Communication Port (CPK), which was sold a month later for 23 million PLN.
Media reports first meeting
Virtual Polska reported that MP Horała met twice in 2023 with Dawtona founder Andrzej Wielgomas and his son CEO Paweł, on 15 June and 6 November, in the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy. At that time he was responsible for the CPK project.
First meeting did not involve sale
Horała said he met them once and that the discussion was solely about relinquishing the CPK’s purchase right, not about selling the property. He promised to listen before the CPK position changed.
Second meeting alleges land‑use concerns
The two‑and‑a‑half‑hour visit, conducted on 6 November, featured complaints that the site could not be developed. A week later KOWR announced the sale, and Piotr Wielgomas exercised the right of first refusal on 1 December.
Attempts to halt the sale
On 8 December Horała sent a letter to KOWR requesting intervention, but the transaction had already been finalized a week earlier. He later admitted the matter was not “alarmist.”
Sale details and political fallout
The 160‑hectare Zabłotn strip was sold in December 2023 for nearly 23 million PLN and is now valued at around 400 million PLN. Several former ministry officials were suspended from KOWR and investigations were launched concerning the sale.
Dawtona’s statement
Dawtona declared that it was not involved in the transaction; the land belongs to vice‑president Piotr Wielgomas, who purchased it as a private farmer in 2018. The company insists it does not buy or sell land for profit.
