In Katowice, Poland, on December 12, 2025, Marian Zmarzly, Deputy Minister of Energy, participates in a miners' protest in front of the Ministry of Energy in response to the deteriorating financial condition of Jastrzebska Spolka Weglowa (JSW).

The miners raise concerns about the reduction in the payment of the Miner's Day allowance and the risk of further cuts in employee benefits. They state that JSW is in a difficult situation and its current actions are delayed and do not solve the problem. The protesters meet with Undersecretary of State Marian Zmarzly, who receives their list of demands.
