The situation surrounding the TVP headquarters in Warsaw has drawn broad attention, with reports indicating that the building at Powstańców Warszawy Square was closed by a curator who is described as overseeing the station. This development was corroborated by Prof. Piotr Gliński, who has direct knowledge of the location and its recent access policies. He spoke to wPolityce.pl to confirm the events and to share his observations about the building’s status and the surrounding actions.
In the interview, Prof. Gliński described a scene where the doors to the TVP complex remained shut from early morning. Individuals presenting themselves as representatives of the so-called curator were observed managing entry to the facility, and MPs who sought to participate in a parliamentary intervention faced restrictions as they tried to access the site. The tone of the scene was described as almost satirical, with those at the threshold pausing to consult lists of employees while deciding who could enter. Some were allowed in, others were not, creating a contrast that reminded some observers of martial law-era measures.
The Law and Justice member reiterated his account, noting the visible reluctance to admit MPs inside the building during the intervention. He added that among the group gathered outside, two managed to join a subset of the lawmakers who had gained entry. He hinted at an ongoing effort to physically clear the premises, suggesting a systematic approach to restrict access and manage the interior space. TVP’s president, Michał Adamczyk, was also reported to be on site, with police officers stationed nearby, providing a security presence around the building and its perimeter.
The account from Prof. Gliński highlighted a tense moment in public life, where administrative authority and parliamentary process intersect in a highly visible manner. Witnesses described a scene that underscored the fragility of open access in a moment of institutional contention, with officials, law enforcement, and lawmakers standing at the edge of a significant decision about the channel’s operations and leadership.
