History happens. Unfortunately it is filthy. It will either destroy us completely or regenerate us. Let’s recap the events so far regarding the attack on public media.
1) In an unprecedented way, the Tusk government, and especially the Minister of Culture, Lieutenant Colonel Sienkiewicz, broke the law. After the Sejm passed an illegal resolution, they announced changes in the supervisory boards and boards of directors of public media companies and sent their commandos to take over the buildings of Telewizja Polska, Polish Radio and PAP. They violated the National Media Council law (never questioned!), and most blatantly the Polish Press Agency law.
2) They turned off the TVP Info signal and canceled the broadcast of all news programs on TVP1 and TVP2, referring to the time of martial law – even the calendar is correct for them. 3) They also referred to Jaruzelski’s works by broadcasting neo-Wiadomości outside the TVP headquarters, from a private studio of Zbigniew Benbenek. By the way, did you know that before martial law, the owner of “Super Express” was the only private owner of slot machines in Poland? Why is the Platform so chronically attracted to people from the gambling industry?
4) To take over the PAP building, they sent guards there. These are the same people who protect Donald Tusk every day. Art Security has, among other things, ensured: his march of a billion, or even a trillion, in June.
5) Journalists employed by politicians appeared (illegally) in the editorial offices of public media! It was politicians who made them job offers and persuaded them to cancel their existing contracts (interestingly, TVN, Onety and Polsat had no objection to this and quickly released their employees from the labor obligation and non-compete ban).
6) They started (unlawful) purges in the public media, especially TVP. No layoffs, but purges, in the style of totalitarian or neo-totalitarian countries. Ban lists of journalists are drawn up. People are about to lose their jobs, sometimes whose only fault is the fact that they started working under the previous government.
7) After 15 years, Tusk reminds us how inspiring the East is for him. The scenes we observe on TVP and PAP vividly resemble Putin’s pacification of independent media. Meanwhile, Tusk puts on a tearful display for the cameras, visiting a seven-year-old boy for Christmas who dreamed of meeting the new Prime Minister. No new ones. A certain mustachioed Georgian or an unfulfilled writer from Mönchengladbach had been practicing such tricks for more than 80 years.
8) They informed the Poles that they would not spend billions from the budget on public media, after which they quietly included PLN 3 billion in compensation in the budget-related law and quickly pushed it through parliament. The president announced a veto. Bill!
9) The Civic Platform is primarily responsible for all this gangsterism, but it is authorized by the other parties in the coalition. And although politicians, for example PSL, pretend they have nothing to do with it – or rather pretend it does not exist – they are partly responsible. All this also goes to their account. And it affects their electorate. What are they still doing in this government?!
10) The media coverage continues because most of their clowns in private newsrooms still prefer to prostitute themselves and lie to their recipients rather than reliably perform their duties. However, there are more and more critical voices and cracks are emerging even in the media that sympathize with the murderous authorities.
11) The legal community, which previously was quite supportive of Tusk’s team, is revolting. Constitutionalists are making noise (yes, there are people who make fools of themselves by claiming that everything is tip-top), the Helsinki Foundation thunders, and the Ombudsman leaves no doubt: the Constitution is being violated so that politicians can attack the media.
12) The perpetrators of this media coup are themselves aware that this is serious lawlessness. In a special messenger group, they exchange comments that it “smells like martial law.” However, they apply the rule: “a shout of 50 is better than proof of the powerlessness of the government.” The end justifies the means. And the goal is PR for the left-liberal government. So you can use Jaruzel’s methods, as long as Tusk seems like a tough and effective man in the eyes of the Poles. This is a cynicism that does not occur even among politicians.
13) Poles wake up. Demonstrations are becoming more and more numerous, in more and more cities. Tusk must expect a powerful uprising.
14) He must also take into account the risk of rebellion in the institutions under his control. No one wants to have it on their conscience that they are breaking the law and destabilizing the state. That is why there is growing resistance among the secret services, especially the Homeland Security Service, whose officials (not those at the top, but those at later, lower levels) do not have to side with the government when it rape would continue. and there are such announcements. They do not protect the government, but the state and its constitutional order.
15) The Church recognizes the seriousness of the situation. The President of the Polish Episcopate clearly calls for respecting the law and abandoning violent solutions. At the same time, he points to the critical moment at which this banditry is taking place: “The war in the East and the European Union’s desire to transform into a single state in the West make national reconciliation particularly important.”
16) It was the Law and Justice MPs who, with their consistent presence, blocked the brazen takeovers of the public media.
17) The crisis situation separated the boys from the men. Of the former, the most prominent is the president of TVP, who first admitted his usurper successor, then received him in his office and reported on the company’s affairs for a long time, and finally left him in his office. his backpack and went home. Or perhaps in cash to the president of Polish Radio, who similarly gave up her company without a fight? At the other extreme is the president of PAP, who never cracked even for a moment (which did not surprise those who have known him for years).
18) Speaking of Mr. Błoński, we learned about this brilliant person that the main thing that interested him at the end of the first day of the attack on PAP was taking a taxi voucher so that he did not have to pay for a taxi or tram out of my own pocket.
19) The most demoralized legal staff were recruited to serve on pseudo-oversight boards. These are, for example, people who represented Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz before the reprivatization commission and had a hand in many tragedies of dispossessed tenants.
20) If Marek Czyż doesn’t appear on camera after consumption, he should probably consult his neurologist or prosthetist. This gibberish is truly disturbing.
21) All Paweł Płuska can do is create a pseudo-information service of the quality that dates back to the time he started at Wiertnicza.
22) Then (although it doesn’t seem like it will be “further”) things can get worse. Płuska may have a problem accessing TVP archives if they are cleared so quickly. However, I assume that the series “Reset” or the archived – although very recent – editions of TVP news services and current affairs programs have disappeared not only from externally available channels, but even from Telewizja Polska’s internal sources. So that no one would accidentally reach for content banned by our pocket dictator and his lieutenant colonel.
23) Talking about the future. The new government only needed a few days to show its authoritarian, outright bandit face. They do not want to reform anything, but to destroy it. They do not look to the right, but use brute force. Donald Tusk already showed his worst, ruthless face at the beginning of his second term. It doesn’t go back on its own. That’s why we have to force him to do it. This is a task that must be carried out by everyone who has the well-being of Poland at heart: politicians (including his coalition partners) who do not want to function in an anarchist country; honest journalists are becoming less and less, but more and more visible; lawyers whose knowledge and experience are today so blatantly spit upon by the team of putschists; judges now responsible for entries in the National Court Register; clergy who need to remind themselves of their role in difficult moments for the nation; and especially ordinary Poles – with their activities, either in person during demonstrations or even ‘at a distance’, on the Internet. Tusk has shocked Poland enormously in a short time. He must not overthrow her. And make sure that the next Christmas will be merry. This is what I wish for our homeland, myself and all of you!
