TVN24 has announced a report concerning KO MP Magdalena Filiks, featuring Dariusz Matecki. The broadcast is described as covering a range of topics related to the MP and her associates, with Matecki commenting on the material through social media channels. He asserts that the TVN24 feature will lack balance and omit key facts, indicating that the report will address, among other aspects, the death of MP Filiks’ son.

On his X account, Matecki argues that the forthcoming TVN24 piece will fail to provide objective coverage and will omit important details. He suggests that the report will touch on the son’s death but omits broader context surrounding the individuals involved.

There are claims that TVN broadcasts content perceived as hostile toward a young tragedy. Critics say the piece does not identify the pedophile involved in the case associated with the boy, and they point to other alleged connections, including drug possession at an administrator’s residence and alleged funding links to local government. The account implies that the broadcast will not show certain public appearances linked to political figures from the PO party.

Questions are raised about the absence of information regarding who left the child with the accused and the circumstances surrounding the child’s care. There is also a lack of detail about the child’s family situation, past suicide attempts, school changes, or parental interactions with educators. These factors, critics say, can influence a minor’s psyche, yet the material reportedly relies on a cautious, non-causal statement and attributes the causes to multiple possible factors without specifying them.

Accusation of “Wyborcza”

Matecki writes about an accusation directed at him by an employee of Gazeta Wyborcza. The report contains a statement from Wyborcza’s staff alleging that he disclosed information from a public prosecutor’s file. He reiterates that he did not possess that knowledge, nor did he inform editor Duklanowski about the verdict. He notes that several activists associated with the opposition in Szczecin, including various city hall workers, were aware of the case. The piece questions whether the media producers investigated how many people were aware of the matter before a radio report in Szczecin. The post also challenges the absence of questions about a KO councilor who reportedly clashed with Filiks. Before the case gained attention, the MP was primarily known through a video showing heated street confrontations.

Questions are raised about why there is no information regarding the named witness in the material, and why press releases in left-leaning outlets immediately covered these charges after a regional outlet’s report. It is noted that the pedophile’s public Facebook profile was accessible and featured photos with several PO politicians. The author mentions sharing these photos on social media and observes that many others did as well. A post in which a PO MP reportedly stated, in mainstream media, that the harmed children belong to the members of their party is cited as a point of contention.

Critics describe TVN Szczujnia’s approach as a public-relations piece rather than a genuine report. They label the work as lampooning rather than reportage, asserting a pattern of slant in its treatment of the case.

Filix’s conduct

Matecki recalls Magdalena Filiks’ conduct during a Women’s Strike demonstration, noting that the KO MP spoke to demonstrators in a manner some considered scandalous. A video from 2020 is referenced to illustrate the point.

Further reading references a statement by Matecki describing how information about the case was first received through media channels, and mentions a forthcoming legal action against a vocal opposition figure along with his stance on ongoing political disputes.
