The statement of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, about the situation on Polish television received a response from politicians of the United Right. The parliamentarians criticized the head of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage for referring to the ruling of the Constitutional Court, which de facto proves the illegality of the minister’s actions.
Sienkiewicz stated that the procedure for the appointment of the Supervisory Board of the Company, which was dismissed by the National Media Council on December 19, 2023, was constitutionally flawed, which follows from the judgment of the Constitutional Court of December 13, 2016.

ZP politicians respond
Politicians from the United Right point out the weakness of Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz’s arguments.
Minister of Culture caught lying! The judgment of the Constitutional Court referred to in the statement does not call into question the power of the National Media Council to appoint public media authorities. However, the same Constitutional Court judgment stated that the minister’s exclusive power to appoint members of the boards of directors and supervisors of public media undermines their independence. A shot in the knee, Colonel Sienkiewicz!
– wrote PiS MP Mariusz Błaszczak.
Colonel Sienkiewicz is shooting himself in the foot with this statement. Because the ruling of the Constitutional Court to which he refers does not prohibit the National Media Council, but he himself as minister, from deciding on the appointment of the bodies of public media companies.
– noted Sebastian Kaleta, a politician from Sovereign Poland.
Every lawyer knows this and that is why everyone who has supported the opposition so far is silent
– added.
As you can see, knowledge of the law is not Colonel Sienkiewicz’s strongest point.
