Controversy has emerged in Poland after the salaries paid to key figures at state broadcaster TVP under the former Law and Justice (PiS) government, which left office earlier this month, were revealed by an MP from the new ruling coalition.

The revelations, including that two figures earned around 1.5 million zloty (€345,000) this year, have been condemned by the new administration, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk. They say that the pay was excessive and note that TVP was used by PiS as a propaganda mouthpiece.

But PiS has responded by pointing to what it says were similarly high earnings by TVP stars when Tusk was previously in power before 2015.

    It’s implicit in your comment above. Arguing otherwise is in bad faith.

      No, you’re very clearly introducing it into the discussion to try and deflect from criticism of profit seeking behaviour in public services.
