During the press conference of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz reported on the progress in settling the analysis of the actions of the previous government. Before the politician began to answer journalists’ questions, he issued a statement on the matter.
Sienkiewicz accuses TV Republika of illegally using TVP’s property
“I have one purely procedural comment. Recently, there has been some controversy surrounding the participation of Telewizja Republika employees in ministerial conferences. I would like to clarify the matter” – a quote from Sienkiewicz, Wirtualne Media portal. Then the accusation was made.
“Telewizja Republika used the equipment, premises, studios and trademarks of public television illegally at a time when PiS MPs and former TVP authorities forcibly occupied buildings belonging to TVP,” emphasizes the Minister of Culture.
Sienkiewicz noted that pre-trial claims have already been filed in the case. “Until I am sure that this institution is a journalistic institution and not an institution of thieves, I see no reason to invite representatives of this medium to my conferences,” the politician said in a statement. The case is to be decided by the court.
Sakiewicz’s quick reaction. He announced two trials
The editor of TV Republika quickly reacted to Sienkiewicz’s words. Tomasz Sakiewicz announced the trial. “In connection with the statement of Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz accusing us of illegal misappropriation of TVP property, we declare: we have never illegally used TVP property. We stayed in the TVP info building only at the invitation of the management of this institution, we did not use their equipment, on the contrary, we even lent our equipment to TVP journalists “We do not use any trademarks belonging to TVP,” writes Sakiewicz on the X website.
The editor-in-chief of Republika TV accuses the minister of slander and announces two trials. “Lieutenant Colonel Sienkiewicz’s statement is a slander against our station and that is why we are filing a criminal lawsuit for defamation and a civil lawsuit for compensation caused by this harmful statement. The rhetoric and actions used against our station resemble the methods used during martial law against media independent of the communists. After the attack on public media, we have another version of the fight against free speech in Poland,” adds Sakiewicz.
