Rafał Rutkowski: I’m not surprised that the authorities at that time were scared
– Joking about those in power is proof that society is not afraid of them. So I’m not surprised that the authorities at that time were afraid of it, says Rutkowski. Later – just before the parliamentary elections – changes began in Polsat’s schedule related to cabarets and the station in a bad atmosphere. After the previously recorded sketches were taken off the air, the artists announced that they would never return to the station.
This year as part of the May SuperHit Festival. He commented on the case, among others: Jerzy Kryszak.
“The authorities wanted to silence the cabarets, and as a result they showed how pathetic they are.”
Rutkowski notes that when watching Polsat, one could easily sense who favors this television. – In my opinion, the managers of this station made a big mistake. If I cared about PiS’s interests, I would have solved this situation completely differently, more cunningly. I certainly wouldn’t ban the broadcast of these sketches, because it only publicized the matter – says the comedian and continues:
The authorities wanted to silence the cabarets, and as a result they showed how pathetic they are. On the other hand, it’s good that it came to light, because it showed that comedy has some power in Poland. And that it is not just entertainment that allows Poles to relax their sphincters on the weekend.
