TV Republika was to study the celebrations of the 85th anniversary of the outbreak of planet War II on Westerplatte in Gdańsk. The planned account, to begin at 4:00 a.m. on September 1, was called into question. According to the website's findings, wjęmyszpile.pl shows that tv has not received approval to set a production point, which prevents broadcasting.

NEWS

This is not the first time tv Republic has encountered difficulties in accessing coverage of crucial events. In the past, the station was already excluded by government authorities, which sparked controversy and discussions about media freedom in Poland.

The exclusion of the station confirmed Danut Dutch on the station air.

In July 2023, the Warsaw territory Court ordered the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage to apologize to tv Republika for erstwhile exclusions. In the justification for the judgment, justice Monika Włodarczyk powerfully rejected the arguments of the ministry, stressing the anticipation of violating the Constitution, peculiarly in the context of not allowing journalists from this station to attend press conferences.

Background

The case has deeper roots. The conflict between tv Republic and government has been expanding for respective months. The case of innuendo by Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz concerning TVP's alleged usage of resources by tv Republika was peculiarly loud. However, these accusations were rejected by the court.

What's next on tv Republic?

At this point, it is unclear whether the station will be able to carry out its planned coverage of the ceremony on Westerplatte. The deficiency of anticipation of setting a production point effectively blocks transmission, which raises concerns about the future of media independency in Poland. The station's spokespersons and representatives of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage do not comment on the case yet, leaving the situation suspended.
