For fixed , put . The polyhedral uncertainty set is equivalent to , so the inner problem is the linear program
The variable is unrestricted in sign. The point is strictly feasible. If the optimum is finite, it is attained, so the infimum is a minimum. The use of an infimum also covers possible unbounded cases permitted by the printed assumptions; strict feasibility alone does not guarantee a finite objective.
