Television Poland lost millions intended for Poles – Onet.pl

A lucky it was very near. As a result of several years of battles of the Polish community, media, artistic and political under the leadership of Senator Barbara Damięcki in Polish Foreign Ministry came favorable for TV “Polonia” climate.

Some say that the change caused a change in the position of minister. Haughty, media sees not the needs of Poles living abroad, Radek Sikorski changed the pragmatic Grzegorz Schetyna.

Sikorski by years for TVP “Polonia” skąpił. Schetyna not only declared her support. He accepted her plans for software development. Resumption of foreign Poles favored by the “Polonia 24″, the production of new programs, increase the amount of prime minister Television Theatre.

And in the future to create special-raising programs for Poles living in the territory of the Russian Federation and former Soviet republics. Currently undergoing aggressive propaganda by Russian media.

Dodging a confrontation with Eastern Europe active in the Russian media. Financed with European Union funds. TV “Polonia” may be one of the partners of the project.

The implementation of these plans TVP “Polonia” needed financial support. This year, 22 million zlotys. Half of this sum promised to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the second half was wysłupłać public television of their resources.

Strangely Minister Schetyna kept his word, which does not always happen ministers of the coalition. Since the beginning of eleven million is for the account of the Ministry.

lies and waits, because from the beginning of the Management Board of TVP SA it is not in a position to take a decision. Is it possible second eleven million on programs for Poles abroad or not.

Since the Board’s decision is not , you can not start the production of the program “Polonia 24″ – so expected by Poles living abroad.

The Ministry also impatient. It’s been almost half a year, and booked in its budget money is not being spent. The question arises about the legitimacy of subsidies, since television is not able to utilize it. At least at the same level this year.

The question about the validity and amount of the grant next year.

corridor, TV rumors that the Board wants to save on Polonia. Although license revenues this year increased. I pass TVP “Polonia” not eleven, and only seven million.

Then, of course, also the Foreign Ministry eleven million not possible, only a maximum of seven. Then, such a grant is not enough to carry out plans in the program.

And the more on planning a European shield against Russian aggression media.

Board of TVP SA soon ends its term in office. Putting a decision about the future of TVP “Polonia”, Ad Kalendras graecas, extends state of uncertainty artists scheduled programs. It blocks the ability to improve programming, to create an attractive events program. Takes stopgap – the worst state of all.

Yes TVP “Polonia” was the hesitant Management Board recessed into the proverbial channel.
