The illegal actions of the Minister of Culture in relation to TVP, Polish Radio and PAP show how the authorities that supposedly care about the rule of law violate it at every step. And they only rule for a week. We will not give up. We will not allow the building of a dictatorship in Poland, said former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. PiS spokesperson Rafał Bochenek pointed out that the total government majority, contrary to all rules, decided to take over the media by force and outside the law; it is a violation of all rules and laws. PiS MP Piotr Müller in turn pointed out that the changes had been made illegally.

Bochenek: Powerful takeover of the media
Commenting on this decision, the PiS spokesperson said that “the total government majority, in violation of all rules, decided to take over the media by force and outside the law.”
The TVP Info signal was switched off, platform officers illegally entered the headquarters of Public Television, Polish Radio and Polish Press Agency. This is breaking all the rules. Break the law
– he emphasized.
These are usurpers who, together with their clients of the Platform, must take the criminal consequences into account. They broke the rules, violated the regulations and our parliamentarians were also brutally attacked and violence was used against them
– said Bochenek.
Müller on illegal changes
According to former government spokesman Piotr Müller, the changes were made illegally.
Illegal dismissal of public media authorities – television, radio, Polish Press Agency. According to the regulations, decisions about this can only be taken by the National Media Council. The minister has no grounds for such an action! This requires legislative changes
– he emphasized in a post on the X platform.
But you can’t find out anything more about it, because the broadcast of the TVP Info channel and the TVP Info portal has just been illegally disabled
– said Müller.
The politician said that “the new government begins its rule with extreme censorship and authoritarian actions.”
Does this surprise anyone? Donald Tusk is back in all his glory!
said Müller.
