“There will be no subsidies for religious magazines,” Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, head of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, recently announced. Now the case is online again and there are negative reactions to his decision. “The Constitution guarantees the ‘impartiality’ of the state, that is, equal access to subsidies for all. (…) Minister Sienkiewicz’s announcement is an announcement of illegal differentiation,” said Ordo Iuris President Jerzy Kwaśniewski.
A few days after Minister Sienkiewicz announced that “there will be no subsidies for religious magazines”, the matter became heated again on social media.
During Thursday’s conference on recruitment for the “Magazines” program, the head of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage said that “the mission of the state is not to spread faith and salvation” because “it is a secular state” . He tried to explain that tax money comes from citizens with different views and religions and cannot support one religion.

The Constitution (Article 25(2)) guarantees the ‘impartiality’ of the state, i.e. equal access to subsidies for all. Both denominational and non-denominational magazines. Min. Sienkiewicz’s announcement is a harbinger of unlawful differentiation.
And by the way, art. 25 section 2 of the Constitution, art. 194 KK, Mr Sienkiewicz. We do not have a secular state. We have an impartial state. It is one that does not reject a grant application because of the denominational nature of the magazine.
The mission of the state is not to spread faith and salvation.” I wish he had added, “On the contrary!”
So atheists won’t get it either. Still @BartSienkiewicz?
Oh, Gazeta Wyborcza doesn’t get pins?
Criterion: “confession writing.” And yet the openly anti-religious magazine is also confessional, it is a magazine that preaches an atheistic religion.
There will be no subsidies for ‘denominational’ magazines or Catholic schools. Mr Hołownia sends the Supreme Court of Audit to the works of Father Rydzyk. The government’s new anti-Catholic line is clearly visible and coherent.
And Sienkiewicz received the Nobel Prize in Literature for his religious novel “Qvo Vadis Domine”. If it were up to his great-grandson, there would be no nabla.
Secular or rude?
