By education, I am a lawyer—a graduate of Ottawa University’s law program, with Cum Laude honors. I am registered as a member of the Bar Association in Quebec, Canada. In Poland, I completed Management (the EMBA program) at the University of Warsaw and the University of Illinois. I have extensive professional experience; for many years I worked in the telecommunications industry, dealing with cooperation with the national and European telecommunications market regulators (UKE, ministries, Sejm committees, the European Commission). Most recently, I have been involved in environmental protection, particularly renewable energy.

Developing the copper ore deposits in the Grodziecka Trough near Bolesławiec is a beneficial and economically justified solution. This deposit contains more than 200 million tonnes of ore (copper and silver) and is located mainly in the municipalities of Warta Bolesławiecka and Bolesławiec, as well as in the municipality of Lwówek Śląski. The deposit has been explored and contains copper and silver concentrations comparable to those in the Rudna and Polkowice-Sieroszowice mines, and significantly higher than those in the Lubin mine belonging to KGHM Polska Miedź. Compared with the Rudna and Polkowice-Sieroszowice mines, where rock temperatures reach 50°C!!!, the “Grodziecka Trough” deposit has very favorable thermal conditions at depth, with rock temperatures averaging below 30°C. Miners would therefore work in very favorable climatic conditions compared with the very difficult conditions currently prevailing in the Rudna and Polkowice-Sieroszowice mines.

If you place your trust in me and I represent you in the Sejm, I will effectively fight for the construction of a new mine at the “Grodziecka Trough” deposit. This would create approximately 2,000 new, well-paid jobs paying PLN 10,000 per month!
