Public broadcaster TVP is first target in new government’s attempt to create a more tolerant country after eight years of PiS rule
n his first day as the new head of TVP, the sprawling Polish public television broadcaster, Tomasz Sygut spent four hours locked in his office while a crowd outside banged on the door trying to gain access. Eventually, said Sygut, he had to call the police to help him escape.
Tusk’s government on Friday marks 100 days in office, a date by which Tusk had ambitiously promised to fulfil 100 key campaign promises . The new TVP will be responsible for monitoring and analysing Tusk’s attempts to remodel Poland, but the network itself is also a key part of the story. Initially, there was a hope that Duda, who will be 53 when he finishes his second term next year and might have one eye on a future international career, would prove amenable to working with the new government, but these hopes now appear to be unfounded.
The specifics of potential solutions to other problematic judicial areas quickly get into legal weeds that are hard for non-specialists to follow, but observers say that so far Bodnar has erred towards a more cautious approach, rather than following more radical voices who have called for more creative, dramatic solutions.“The changes rely a lot on people who have specialist knowledge, they are slow and deliberative, and offer moderate solutions to big problems.
“It would be nice to get an apology from the people who actually wronged you, but it still felt nice that people who have nothing to apologise for feel they can step forward and take responsibility for the institution,” said Maja Heban, one of the activists present in the studio.
