The TVP station broadcast a report entitled “Orlen and PKP Intercity are lowering prices!” with a narrative pointing to another success of the government and an allegedly effective fight against the effects of inflation. The data was supported by statements by Daniel Obajtek and an anonymous man who used Orlen’s services.

“Good job, Mr Obajtek”
On February 7, 2023, TVP’s “Wiadomości” showed a material by Damian Diaz and Jakub Suchenia regarding reductions in fares. According to the station, good news is waiting for those traveling both in private cars and using the services of state railways.
Prices of diesel and train tickets down. Drivers of cars with diesel engines pay 20 groszy less per liter at the stations of the state-owned manufacturer. PKP Intercity, on the other hand, will restore ticket prices from the beginning of January from March.
– informed the presenter. Then, a fragment of the interview with Daniel Obajtek was broadcast.
We have lowered diesel prices by PLN 0.20 at our stations.
– announced the president of Polski Koncern Naftowy Orlen. One of the drivers using the station’s services was also given the floor. When asked about fuel prices, he reacted enthusiastically and turned to Obajtek himself.
Cool, I didn’t even know. What a nice surprise. Good job, Mr Obajtek
said the surprised allegedly anonymous customer, raising his thumb up. However, not everyone believed in the sincerity of his statements.
Netizens laughed at the material
The controversial fragment of “Wiadomości” was published on the official Twitter profile by the satirical weekly “NIE”. “Beautiful, spontaneous scene” – they commented on the recording.
Commenters on the material on websites and social media are of a similar opinion.

Acting level like from Latin soap operas.
First they raised the prices. Now they lowered and again success.
We will hire actors for news and current affairs programs. I wonder how much they pay for this scene?
– Internet users comment, also sharing current photos of prices from Orlen stations, which have not undergone the announced changes everywhere. Regarding the reduction of ticket prices for PKP Intercity journeys, the Polish Press Agency announced that they will be introduced on March 1, 2023. The carrier announced that base prices for TLK and IC connections will be lower by 11%, and EIC and EIP by 15%. So they will be closer to those before the high-profile increase.
