“News” with a new narrative. Are they preparing viewers for the change of government?

On Monday, President Andrzej Duda swore in Mateusz Morawiecki’s government for a new, most likely very short, term of office. This fact also had to be noted by TVP’s “Wiadomości”. A new narrative element has appeared.

“” TVP has so far convinced viewers that Law and Justice will undoubtedly form a government, because this party won the most votes in the October elections. Although there are no objective numbers behind Mateusz Morawiecki and his team – such as the parliamentary majority -. Last Monday, however, there was a change in the narrative.

TVP’s “Wiadomości” noticed that PiS does not have a majority in the Sejm

Monday’s edition of news programs began with the most important political event in the country. President Andrzej Duda appointed the government of Jarosław Kaczyński and Mateusz Morawiecki for a new term. Most people in Poland expect that this will be an extremely short term of office – a maximum of two weeks. However, since the president’s announcement that Morawiecki would become the new prime minister, “Wiadomości” lobbied to include information about PiS’s absolute victory in the elections. There was discreet talk about searching for additional votes that would provide support for the new-old prime minister, about coalition talks with members of parliament who wished to remain anonymous… It was argued that a percentage victory in the elections automatically also means a new government.

However, the numbers are absolute and it is difficult to argue with them. Morawiecki needs far too many votes to obtain a vote of confidence from the Sejm – even the Confederation will not help here. It seems that “News” has finally noticed. The material by Monika Borkowska and Małgorzata Kałużyńska included, among others: such words:

The Civic Coalition, Third Way and the Left are, for now, the parliamentary majority – it was stated truthfully.

However, the narrative immediately returned to normal.

Now everything is in the hands of the government and the negotiating skills of Mateusz Morawiecki. The Civic Platform stubbornly promoted the thesis of electoral victory, even though PiS won the largest number of votes. If the Prime Minister fails to obtain a vote of confidence within two weeks, the so-called second constitutional step will begin – then the Sejm will choose the Prime Minister – it was announced.

“Wiadomości” is preparing the ground for a change of government

The next material focuses on the work of the Sejm, which is to appoint three investigative committees on Tuesday. This is supposedly to cover “problems with the lack of a program” of the opposition, which – let us remind you – is not formally in power, because Mateusz Morawiecki is the Prime Minister. Commissions of inquiry were compared to games that fed those who could not afford bread in ancient Rome. “Eternal show, and when to rule?” – they asked.

“Wiadomości” also included extensive material about general “lies” about crises during the PiS rule. Tomasz Sakiewicz said in a comment that the opposition’s talk about subsequent problems in Poland led to Poles voting “against their own interests, against their own views.”

On October 15, the campaign based on confabulations brought a certain result – it was stated at the very end of the material, as if forgetting for a moment that PiS won… more votes.
