Has become. Mateusz Morawiecki ceased to be the Prime Minister of Poland after eight years. The worst scenario of the current TVP came true – the Sejm announced that Donald Tusk would be the next prime minister and at 7 p.m. his candidacy was voted on. It is true that Donald Tusk still needs to be sworn in by President Andrzej Duda (this is to take place on December 13 – this is probably not a random date), but there should be no surprises here.
A festival in honor of Mateusz Morawiecki was held on TVP Info throughout the day. Information about the confidence vote was provided sparingly and without going into details – just like that, the vote took place. Only after voting for Donald Tusk’s candidacy, it was impossible to avoid informing about it directly – especially since it is an unprecedented situation. For the first time in Poland’s history, the Sejm decided who would become the next prime minister. Meanwhile, the main evening edition of “” on TVP can be described briefly. It is a paean to the PiS government and a litany of warnings against the upcoming opposition government. In short – it’s interesting.
“News” on Monday. Morawiecki was great, Tusk will be terrible
“News” began with the most important event of the day. And no, we are not talking about the dismissal of Mateusz Morawiecki’s government, but about the former prime minister delivering an exposé. Only after the prime minister’s speech was summarized could we move on to the rest of the information. Words were said that “the voice of Poles counts” and that “Law and Justice received the largest number of votes.” Morawiecki’s more than an hour-long statement was shortened, and Kaczyński also warned about the next prime minister.
Pis leaves a very good memory of his rule, said one of the experts.

The material about Donald Tusk included stories by Mariusz Błaszczak about previous governments – those before 2015. People were asked about “specifics” and “what will be crucial for the new government.” TVP had a difficult task in the Sejm – they tried to find out any details about the new government, but unfortunately – no one wanted to talk to TVP employees. All questions about plans were answered with plans for changes in TVP.
The next material asked difficult questions about the budget for next year, which PiS left until the last minute. As a result, the new parliament has not started to deal with it yet and thanks to the two-week rule of Mateusz Morawiecki, the new government did not have the opportunity to look under the lining and assess what is real and what is not necessarily true.
There was also a summary of all the most important PiS social programs – 500+, additional pensions, “a stream of money flowed to Polish families.” There was a lot of talk mainly about the 500+ program, which will soon be changed to 800+. It was recalled that during Donald Tusk’s times, people left Poland for work. There were warnings that this essential program might disappear.

A story was also told about the new judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal. The judge decided that the penalties imposed on Poland by the CJEU were not consistent with the Polish Constitution. The question left unanswered was whether the new government would recognize that “Polish law is more important than EU law.” There also had to be questions about the Central Communication Port, about which the new government generally has a lot of doubts. The material on contemporary Russian politics is summarized with a memory from 2009, when – under different governments – the largest television stations, TVP and TVN, began their editions of their main news programs with material on the power of the Russian army. The same army that attacked Ukraine five years later. That it wasn’t necessarily that obvious in 2009 was not mentioned.
And finally, in the form of dessert – a mandatory element of every “Wiadomości”: defense of TVP against Donald Tusk and the new government. Warnings that we won’t hear about scandals under the new government? Of course they were. Were there any statements – not always wise ones – from new politicians? Of course. Was Dorota Kania an expert? Of course. “The desire for revenge is one thing. Announcements of financial starvation are another.”
Poles will not be able to watch the best news programs, series, game shows, entertainment programs or sports broadcasts – it was stated, although this has little to do with the truth.
