'No one is talking about it' Dominik Tarczyński fumes over Polish goverment move

Nigel Farage has pointed out a "very important story" as the Polish government moved to liquidate its state broadcaster.

Donald Tusk, the former European Council president who is now Poland’s Prime Minister, has taken control of the state media and removed it from air.


According to Tusk, the heads of the state television, radio and news agencies had been sacked to restore "impartiality"

However, the move has faced backlash from those accusing him of an illegal takeover and has prompted protests.

During his GB News show, Farage said: "For several years now, the European Union, based in Brussels, has been on the case of Poland.

"They've accused the last Polish government of stuffing the media with their allies, of making unwise judicial appointments and sanctions have been threatened again and again against Poland.

"At the last general election, Donald Tusk, the former boss of the European Council became the Polish Prime Minister again.

"It didn't take very long for police armed with truncheons to raid state media. On the most watched TV station in Poland, the cameras literally went blank. What astonishes me is how little coverage this has had in mainstream media."

He was then joined by Dominik Tarczyński who was left fuming that "GB News where the only UK media to have reached out."

Tarczyński is a member of the European Parliament for the recently ousted Right-wing populist Law and Justice (PiS) party.

He said: "We have to protest, we have to react, we have to shout and scream about what is going on.

"We are not a banana republic. No one would expect that in this beautiful European Union full of beautiful words about freedom of speech, about democracy, about the rule of law and the rest of it, that Donald Tusk, a golden child of the Brussels elite, would do what he did. It is unspeakable."

When asked Tarczyński denied allegations that when his party was in power, it had “stuffed the organisation with your own supporters”.

He said: "He cut off the signal, which never ever happened in the history of Poland apart from martial law times during communism.”

Farage then responded by saying: " Dominic, you say that Poland is not a Banana Republic, but the way Tusk has behaved in the last couple of days makes me seriously question that."

The GB News host later posted a clip of the interview on social media.

Sharing a video on X, Farage said: "This story is very important and literally nobody is talking about it."
