On 12 May there will be a presidential debate held by 3 stations: TVP, TVN and Polsat. tv Poland organized a gathering with the staff to establish details. Candidates have already received preliminary information on the rules and organisation of the event. Krzysztof Stanowski, who besides participated in the meeting, posted on social media a photograph of the paper which included the composition of the leaders.
The debate is to be held by Dorota Wysocka-Schnepf (TVP), Radomir Wit (TVN24) and Piotr Witwicki (Polsat News). That's what the name of the TVP writer was all about. As Stanowski reports, 8 out of 10 staff representatives voted in favour of a change leading. "20 minutes of argument. TVP decision on this issue tomorrow," Stanowski wrote on platform X.
Storm around the TVP debate. The staff disagree on Dorothy Wysocka-Schnepf
“I believe that at the minute erstwhile the debate on public tv is being prepared, all electoral committees should agree to the leaders,” said Mr Rafał Komaewicz from Poland 2050 in the program “Tlit” of Virtual Poland. "If any committees have doubts about leading, specified a individual should not be moving on public television," he added.
In his opinion, the staff should have a real impact on the selection of debate hosts. – Election committees represent a presidential candidate, who is simply a typical of any part of society, who in turn pays for television. They should have an impact on that. So here specified a individual simply should not lead if the committees disagree," Komarewicz emphasized.
Polish MP 2050 added that "he does not rather like how Mrs Wysocka expresses her opinions in the programs".
