In the program ‘Stanie Wyjątkowym’, behind-the-scenes details of the dispute over the concession for TV Republika with KRRiT are unveiled. Journalist Andrzej Stankiewicz criticized Marzena Paczyska's reversal of her initial support, calling it 'despicable'. The commentary suggests that political pressure from the ruling party, Law and Justice (PiS), might have influenced her decision. Jacek Gądek pondered whether this was an explicit warning from the PiS faction, indicating the surrounding political context adds depth to the ongoing tension.

The tensions between the leadership of the PiS party and TV Republika are evident, as Stankiewicz mentions that Jarosław Kaczyński genuinely dislikes the station and its president, Tomasz Sakiewicz. This disdain is portrayed as stemming from Sakiewicz’s perceived arrogance and relentless demands. It raises questions about the independence of the media in Poland and the implications of political interference, as Kaczyński’s negative attitude towards the channel leads to speculation about control over media narratives.

Furthermore, Gądek suggested that Paczyska's decision was likely not made independently but was instead a signal originating from the higher-ups in PiS, demonstrating how intertwined politics and media are in Poland. This revelation not only highlights the precarious nature of media licenses in a politically charged atmosphere but also reflects on the broader struggle for media freedom in the country. Kaczyński’s view and his continued viewership of the station, despite his criticisms, underline a complex relationship between power and media representation in Poland.
