When it took power in Poland in 2016, Jacek Kurski was appointed president of Telewizja Polska. He held this position for 6 years, and then emigrated abroad, starting work at the World Bank in Washington. Ultimately, he also lost this job when the party lost the parliamentary elections at the end of 2023 and had to give way to the government.
Kurski is running for the European Parliament on the PiS ticket. On TV Republika he criticized the new management of TVP
After a break of several months, Kurski returned to television to announce his candidacy for MEP from . For this reason, on May 6, 2024, he appeared in the program, in which he spoke sharply about the changes that the new government introduced at the public broadcaster. – What happened to television, this lynching, the destruction of this beautiful institution in revenge for the fact that Poles had a choice, in revenge carried out by the coalition on December 13, is their great remorse, a disgrace – the former president of the station on the show. – I hope that one day they will answer for what they did illegally with Telewizja Polska – he added.
At the same time, he did not spare words of appreciation for his interlocutor and all journalists and presenters who created TVP during his term. – Polish Television, in which you were the main face of “Wiadomości” and I was the president, was a constitutive condition of pluralism – he said. – I would like to thank the entire crew, in your hands, Mrs. Danusia, symbolically, to everyone who has created this beautiful work of Polish Television over the years. We will all meet on TV one day, he announced with conviction. Although his words immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, he did not withdraw from this position and during an interview on Radio ZET he maintained that the new management has already shown that it has no idea how to create objective television. “They should come to me for tutoring,” he ironized.
Polish Television’s sharp reaction to Kurski’s statements. Bitter words were spoken
The statements quickly reached the current management and did not go unnoticed. An official statement appeared on the Internet. It was emphasized that it was under his leadership that the station did not gain anything but lost it in the eyes of citizens and was no longer considered credible, which is confirmed by extensive documentation.
Telewizja Polska does not and does not intend to comment on Jacek Kurski’s words. Jacek Kurski is the person responsible for the complete collapse and destruction of the credibility of Telewizja Polska. He is burdened by the gigantic scale of hatred, destruction of people and many other shameful practices committed by TVP during the time he headed it. He turned the public broadcaster into a propaganda tool for one party, which is confirmed by numerous reports and, as he himself emphasizes with pride
– it was written on the website. At the same time, it was emphasized that some of the evidence supporting this thesis are numerous notifications received by the prosecutor’s office, the Supreme Audit Office report and any irregularities related to both the management of the company and its financial aspects.
Such a person has no moral right to comment on changes aimed at restoring pluralism, implementing the mission, rebuilding the brand and credibility of the public broadcaster.
