SLD calls Borowski to account over his actions in Radio and TV Bill

Sejm's Speaker Marek Borowski will have to explain himself in front of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) parliamentary club for his decision to suspend the Sejm's work on the Radio and Television Bill. According to Rzeczpospolita, Borowski has been severely criticized by the club, which even accused him of anti-government behavior. They blamed him for failing to include somebody from the Prime Minister's Office in a team of experts summoned by Borowski to discuss the decision. Borowski tried to defend himself by claiming that the planned decision was consulted with the Prime Minister, as well as head of the Mass Media and Culture Commission Jerzy Wenderlich. He added that his decision was made out of concern to ensure that the bill will be of good quality. (Rzeczpospolita, Jan. 4-5, p. A1) A.Z.
