About Aleksander Grad
- Aleksander Grad [al?'ksand?r 'grat] (listen) (born 1 May 1962 in Losiniec, Tomaszów Lubelski County) is a Polish politician.
- He graduated from the Industrial Geodesy Department at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow.
- He was elected to the Sejm on 25 September 2005, receiving 13 680 votes in 15 Tarnów district as a candidate on the Civic Platform list.
- He has been the Minister of State Treasury since November 2007. He was also a member of Sejm 2001-2005. Currently he is a head of the PGE PEJ1 (Polish energy company with some links to maybe projected in long future atomic power plant).
- Because of this and relatively high income (50 000 PLN/month, average from the math average calculation, but not minimal statistical salary in Poland is about 3,403 PLN (1,169 USD)/month), he was nicknamed by one of the newspapers "BMW (bierny mierny, ale wierny)" - "passively mediocre but loyal".
- This quotation from the communism Poland times generally means someone, who don't do task in good or average standards, have any ideas but despite this is loyal to the party/organization and this the reason why he/she can get some good paid position, especially created for him.
- E.g.
- the plans for Polish atomic energy sources, are not even in basic stage, he is not the physicist or other specialist.
- Also discussion is in the early stage, because there is no current commercial atomic power plant in Poland, with the strong opposition, which blocked previous attempt.
