‘The media must be free’: Agnieszka Hyży

The so-called Lex TVN is one of the hot topics that the whole of Poland has recently been living on. Journalists, artists, and representatives of many other professional groups express their dissatisfaction with the actions of PiS in this matter. Also, Agnieszka Hyży, a journalist associated with Polsat TV, does not hide her indignation that politicians interfere in the media and try to appropriate them.

"I look at it all with great concern, I am sad that my friends from TVN are now living in a time of considerable uncertainty. I subscribe to the fact that the media must be free, that they cannot be dominated by politics, no matter who will be in power. We are a free country, we should cooperate as much as possible with all organizations and institutions, European and global, but we should also always have our opinion and our sovereignty in all this," Agnieszka Hyży said.

The presenter emphasized that she could not be indifferent to the storm around TVN and the tense situation around the planned changes. She believes that the actions of the authorities are very inappropriate. Agnieszka Hyży defends free and independent media. She also believes that this conflict hits any journalist who is honest in their profession.

"I am one of those people who try to speak up on important issues that affect me directly, and I am an active observer of our entire public life, what is happening in the media, what is happening in the Sejm, I understand the mechanisms and, above all, I think about the consequences for everyone. So I can say that I am very concerned about what is happening, but what I am most concerned about is the level of narrative that occurs on each side and the overwhelming hate that pours out," she stressed.
