TVP Boss requests Sejm Commission investigation

TVP President Robert Kwiatkowski has turned to Tomasz Nałęcz, head of the Sejm Commission investigating the Rywin affair, with a request to examin closely the truthfulness of testimonies presented by Agora President, Wanda Rapaczyńska, and Culture Minister, Waldemar Dąbrowski. The statements concern a meeting at the Culture Ministry with media representatives on July 11, 2002. Kwiatkowski quoted a recent Trybuna article, which published a letter according to which, Agora set the list of guests attending the meetings. Kwiatkowski recalls Rapaczyńska denied having any influence on the people who were invited to take part in the media bill negotiations. In his letter addressed to Nałęcz, Kwiatkowski recalled the questioning of Dą browski, who denied that such a list of guests was consulted at all. "Such obvious inconsistency cannot be left without explanation, strongly que stioning the reliability of the testimony of both parties, as well as other people questioned by the Commission, and me especially," announced Kwi atkowski.
