Poland’s new pro-European Union government under Donald Tusk has seized control of public broadcasters in the country, firing the management boards of TVP and Polskie Radio, and taking the channels off-air.
The move sparked a sit-in protest by the conservative Law and Justice party at the TVP headquarters, which is now occupied by police to prevent any further dissent.
In a surprise victory, Donald Tusk won the elections in Poland in October. According to Politico, Tusk said his election saved Polish democracy.
On 13 December, Tusk was sworn in as Poland’s new prime minister promising that his government would obey the constitution. A week later, Tusk’s regime was acting both undemocratically and unconstitutionally by forcibly taking over public broadcasters.
It could be just a coincidence, but last month French media outlet Observatoire du Journalismereported that George Soros, who supports Eurocrat Donald Tusk, had infiltrated Polish print media. Observatoire du Journalisme noted that once public television (TVP) and radio (Polskie Radio) were taken over by Donald Tusk’s allies, the Polish media market will become very lopsided in favour of the political left, as it was before 2015.
