Kurski reappointed head of TVP hours after being dismissed

A few hours after the National Media Council had dismissed Jacek Kurski from the post of the head of public broadcaster TVP, the body withdrew its decision and instead of choosing an acting president it reappointed Kurski. "The motion to dismiss Kurski will be effective on the date when a competition for the post of the president is announced, no later than October 15," said head of the National Media Council, Krzysztof Czabański. "We encourage Kurski and other people to participate in it," Czabański added. According to unofficial information, the decision to dismiss Kurski wasn't approved by the chair of the ruling PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński, who ordered that he be restored to his position.
