The National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) calls for an end to the spread of fake news on the airwaves of 17 regional Polskie Radio (Polish radio) stations.
30.05.2024
Members of the National Broadcasting Council express their strong opposition to the dissemination of manipulated information by regional public radio stations, which misleads the public.
The difficult financial situation and legal chaos in the public media, in a situation with an ongoing war on the eastern border, is the responsibility of Donald Tusk's government, which has decided to liquidate the public media in an unlawful manner that violates the constitution and laws.
The National Council does not block money from the subscription fees
The money is deposited in the accounts of the Ministry of Finance. The liquidators of the regional radio stations and Polskie Radio S.A. may withdraw it voluntarily at their own request.
Regional radio stations have not been deprived of money for their operations
They live on advertising, sponsorship, grants and their own publications. The subscription fee is only a supplement to the broadcasting costs, which are used exclusively to fulfil the public service mission.
Therefore, the members of the National Broadcasting Council appeal to the liquidators to stop harming the radio stations and listeners and to pay out the funds from the court deposits themselves.
