Jarosław Kaczyński strikes at TV Republika? 'I really want to believe in that'

Jarosław Kaczyński called on media to report the truth favorably toward the right side and spoke about the active role of his party amidst recent internal conflicts.

Jarosław Kaczyński, the president of the Law and Justice party (PiS), addressed a press conference where he urged media outlets to focus on truthfulness and expressed a preference for coverage that supports the right-wing perspective. He noted that there have been frequent accusations from journalists—some of whom he knows personally—that his party only concerns itself with internal matters, which he sought to refute by highlighting the party's active involvement in various issues. Kaczyński's remarks come on the heels of recent events characterized by effective blockages of internal conflicts deemed unnecessary and harmful to both Poland and his party.

In addition to defending PiS’s involvement in significant political activities, Kaczyński criticized the lack of media attention given to these efforts. He argued that although reports of their appearances and meetings exist, the overall narrative and engagement with broader media dynamics fail to adequately reflect his party’s initiatives or achievements. By calling out the media, Kaczyński aims to shift the focus towards a more favorable representation of his party’s work and its impact on Polish politics.

The remarks also hint at the broader tensions within Polish media and the political landscape, primarily how certain outlets, like TV Republika, frame the political discourse. Kaczyński's appeal to the media is not just about self-defense for his party but also an attempt to foster a narrative that could potentially galvanize public opinion and support in the face of emerging critiques, emphasizing the importance of a supportive media framework in shaping political realities in Poland.
