Tusk) will appoint a proxy in the TVP company , and about PiS’s reaction to these steps he replied: “First of all, we will protest against what will happen today in the public media.” He added that these announcements are “extremely drastic.”
“We will defend the independence of the public media.”
He noted that this is an attempt to “silence the mouths of journalists who criticize and have criticized Donald Tusk, the Civic Platform, the political forces that form the government today,” he said. He added that the journalists who criticize them are objective.
We will protest, we will use all the means allowed by law to truly defend the independence of the public media
– Sasin emphasized.
He added that he was surprised by the pace of change.
This pace shows that this government is starting an attack on the state
