This is not the end of the changes, because the president's position was canceled Mirosław Błaszczykwhich served this function since April 2019. He became the new head of Cyfrowy Polsat Andrzej Abramczukassociated for 25 years with the telecommunications industry (he was the president of Netia, which was taken over by Cyfrowy Polsat a few years ago).
