Deputy talker of the Sejm Krzysztof Bosak in the Rymanowski Breakfast program at Polsat News, he extensively discussed what is happening on public media and their strong takeover:
– The game is about controlling the immense money and immense public media. We're not just talking about TVP with all its antennas and dozens of regional centers. We are talking about regional companies of Polish Radio, which are besides a dozen. We are talking about the Polish Press Agency, we are talking about equipment, studios worth hundreds of millions, if not billions. What's the game!
And why is this game so tough that the president has gone to veto? [veto on the budget bill, resulting in blocking the transfer of PLN 3 billion to public television] ...
In my opinion, as I read the opinions of all lawyers, what happens is without a legal basis. The platform decided to avoid the hazard of clashing with the President's veto, not modifying media laws as usual. After the change of power came a fresh coalition of revised media laws and took control of public media, making them more or little government media, as did the Law and Justice, which we absolutely as a Confederate do not support. On the another hand, the Platform decided to take power in public media, but decided not to pass a fresh bill. And they invoke things that are not binding. For example, they mention to a quote from the justification to the Constitutional Court judgment. The Constitutional Tribunal has not waived the validity of laws which presently govern the functioning of the media. This Court did not repeal these provisions.
They present their political opinion in rather the same way as the Law and Justice have done for the last 8 years, doing different things. They present their political opinion as a law. I mean, they say yes. TVP was a hate, it was a ploy, and we stopped it. So they present their censorship as something to be a binding law. They say: in our opinion these institutions are unconstitutional, so this law does not apply to us. But that's their opinion. If I have specified an opinion, for example, that the government of Donald Tusk will sale out our sovereignty in the European Union, can I say this Prime Minister does not be for me? We're doing a full different occupation with the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, and now I'm in charge? Of course not. This is how Minister Sienkiewicz behaves. So I think this is simply a very large deal. She's just getting started. She won't end soon.
Minister Sienkiewicz proved ineffective due to the fact that he occupied 1 of the 2 key buildings of TVP to another.

— Confederation (@CONFEDERATION_) December 27, 2023This is besides the defeat of Minister Kierwiński, who was to safe the full operation with the aid of the police. The police to Warsaw were drawn from another provinces. They failed to safe the buildings. They had a simple thing to do. Take 2 crucial steps. In the course of all military coup in African states, take 2 key... You think it was a coup? I'm sorry, it's not. It's not a coup due to the fact that they have democratic legitimacy. But they usage the methods that we see in Latin America, in Africa. They were to occupy 2 key buildings. They only took one, and the another took the opposition. They don't know what to do with it.
What's with the pushover? After all, this push between Minister Macierewicz, a erstwhile and any people whose identities I do not know, is simply a complete defeat of the Polish police supervising Minister Kierwiński. We shouldn't be watching these scenes. Why don't the police figure out who's out there on 1 of them, ask them to come in or isolate them how they have immunity?
That's a very crucial question. Who's in the law, ladies and gentlemen? The question I think we all have, no substance what our views, is to the Civic Platform. To the Member, I am directing. Why, if you're so certain you're in law, you didn't just wait for the court to put in a fresh authority, and then with the support of all the public, possibly the political class, the fresh authorities to come in to do fresh cleaning.
