Poland’s Prime Minister Morawiecki dismisses one of his deputies. This then terminates the national-conservative alliance with the PiS.
After the dismissal of Poland’s Vice Prime Minister Jaroslaw Gowin, the national-conservative government alliance broke up.
The board of Gowin’s conservative group Porozumenie (Understanding) decided on Wednesday to leave the list alliance and the joint faction with the ruling party PiS. From now on, they want to act as an independent parliamentary group, said spokesman Jan Strzezek on Twitter.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki dismissed Vice Prime Minister and Development Minister Gowin on Wednesday. Gowin then terminated his group’s collaboration with the PiS on his own initiative.
The background to this is internal conflicts over an economic stimulus plan and a new broadcasting law. Parliament is due to vote on the amendment to the Broadcasting Act on Wednesday. It is unclear whether the PiS will get the majority required for this.
The plans brought in by the PiS in July provide that broadcasting licenses can only be issued to foreigners if they “have their headquarters or their place of residence in the European Economic Area”. In addition, the condition applies that the licensee must not be dependent on someone who is headquartered or resides outside of it.
According to critics, the law targets the private broadcaster TVN, which is part of the US group Discovery through a holding company registered in the Netherlands. The news channel TVN24 in particular takes a line that is critical of the PiS. There the dismissed deputy head of government also had a say on Tuesday evening. At almost the same time, several thousand people took to the streets against the law in various Polish cities.
