Piggy Censor. The Razor of the Media

The proceedings of the Sejm Constitutional work Committee are under way, but it seems highly chronic and endless. And time is moving due to the fact that this Taliban PiS is inactive waving a razor. A fewer days ago, he imposed a punishment of PLN 145 1000 on TVP for the issue of the study entitled “The Art of Rydzyk” by Paweł Gregorowicz and Bianca Mikołajewska. Six months earlier, Swirski punished TVN for reporting “29 years of impunity. The Phenomenon of Father Tadeusz Rydzyk" close to the amount – PLN 142,8 thousand. There is no point in presenting justifications, due to the fact that they are full of subjective opinions and ideological prejudices.

Where does the infirmity of the authorities of the state arise in relation to the actions of a man who should have long been put before the Court of State and released from office? In my opinion, this is mainly due to the position of the president of the KRRiT in the power structures set out in the 1992 Broadcasting Act. It shall be appointed and dismissed by the members of the Council. His word of office is six years. It can only be interrupted by death, illness preventing the performance of functions, conviction by a final judgement (a judgement of the court) or violation of the provisions of the Act established by the judgement of the TS. And only on this last basis is it possible to cancel Swirski today. A group of 185 MPs made a request against him, which included the charge of blocking subscription payments for TVP and Polish Radio and concessions for private broadcasters (including TVN and TOK FM). But he cannot be dismissed for judging the station's programs according to his own view, that he imposes penalties on programs critical to people or institutions associated with the Catholic Church – programs aimed at informing the public about irregularities in their actions. Here the power of Swirski is simply a form of absolute power. It may impose a punishment and does not require a Council resolution, due to the fact that the powers of the another members of the Council are hulled. The blame for this is on the creators of the 1992 Act, giving the chair of the KRRiT unlimited prerogatives, and politicians who have not even tried to implement the fresh media law. Kunctatorship and omissions of current decision-makers perpetuate status quo.

The president of the KRRiT should be the guardian of freedom of speech on radio and television, not CENZOR! If NIM is, then he should be convicted of post-public censorship and this limitation of powers should be included in the future bill. The president of the KRRiT should be given the right to post-censory and punish the creators and stations on the basis of vague premises, unilateral expertise and his own ideology. specified conduct offends the sense of justice and violates media freedom. In the years 2022-2025 Świrski has already issued more than 260 decisions to impose penalties for the amount of about PLN 6 million. I guess I don't gotta add that he was mainly punishing the unpopular media he's been fighting for many years: TVN, TOK FM, Radio Zet etc. It is simply a farce to invoke violations of the Polish state's rules or to accuse programs of spreading views contrary to social welfare, due to the fact that the president of KRRiT is not a court of law to decide that. So it's time to take distant Swirsky's razor for an ideological fight against freedom of speech. The Court of State is approaching.
