Pressure grows to axe controversial media bill

After having examined the amendment to the radio and television bill to see if it is in accordance with the Constitution, the Civic Platform (PO) parliamentary club submitted a motion to Sejm Speaker Marek Borowski, to suspend further work on the bill until the Rywin affair is closed. "After resuming work we should concentrate primarily on an amendment that would be in keeping with European law," said PO leader Maciej Plazynski. Moreover, the deputies believe that further work on the bill should not involve the authors of the the original radio and TV law. "It seems to me that they have exhausted their creative abilities," said the deputy leader of the Sejm Culture Commission. (www.rmf.pl) A.C.
