Rywin Commission chairman puts TVP president under pressure to resign

The chairman of the Sejm Rywin Commission Tomasz Nałęcz, said in an interview with daily Życie Warszawy that the latest evidence collected reveals that the president of state television TVP, Robert Kwiatkowski, was greatly involved in unofficial proceedings around the media bill. "It shows how much Kwiatkowski interfered with political matters and media ownership. It exposed a lot of things, including those exceeding the Rywin affair itself," added Nałęcz. At the request of the Commission, the Internal Security Agency (ABW) has searched Kwiatkowski's office and computer. "He is still closely watching journalists and the way they report on the scandal," said Nałęcz. He added that the latest information could finally force the TVP president to resign if Poland wants to remain a democratic and civilized country. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A4) M.M.
