Paralysis of the National Media Council. “The king was repeatedly asked to resign.”

Although Wojciech Król was arrested at the beginning of November, the last stationary hearing took place on May 12. In July, members of the National Media Council met remotely, and in September they voted by circulation.

Since then - as members of the National Media Council admit in conversations with RMF FM - work has been suspended. There is no one to call a meeting because the boss is in custody - admits one of our interlocutors. And draws attention to Art. 11 of the Act on the National Media Council: only the chairman may convene a meeting.

The Sejm's hands are tied in this matter. Wojciech Król was repeatedly persuaded to resign from the position of chairman of the National Media Council. Unfortunately, he did not give up. However, I hope that he will submit his resignation in writing, just send an appropriate letter, even from the detention center. The Prison Service will definitely provide him with a piece of paper, says Piotr Adamowicz, head of the parliamentary culture committee from the Civic Coalition, in an interview with RMF FM.

The National Media Council is of great importance. Appoints, among others: supervisory boards of public media. In recent months, it has successfully established supervisory boards in public regional radio stations.

In the near future, the National Media Council was to consider appointing the current compositions of the supervisory boards of Polish Television and Polish Radio, which - despite the companies being put into liquidation - are still not visible in the National Court Register. In the case of TVP, currently the National Court Register still contains the data of Maciej Łopiński and Przemysław Tejkowski - appointed to the supervisory board during the rule of Law and Justice.
