Michal Rachon, program director of the “Republic” TV company, issued a statement after Marek Krol's scandalous words regarding immigrants, which he said on Wednesday afternoon in one of the channel's programs.
“TV Republika is the home of freedom of speech, but also a place of respect for all human beings from conception to natural death, regardless of their legal status or life circumstances. “- he wrote Rachon in response to the statement of publicists.
Read in the new “press”: In the press: Chuchnovsky about borders, Kamel a little soft, nuclear Polsat and funny Romek.
During a discussion on immigration, the king said that foreigners should be “chipped like dogs” and “it's even cheaper to tattoo numbers on your left arm, then you can easily find them”.
The entire channel owned by Tomasz Sakievic also expressed its disagreement with these words: “We deeply disagree with the statement made by editor Marek Krol on our channel,” read TV Republika's Twitter and Sakievic's personal account.
This is another scandal at this station. Speaking about immigrants on Sunday, Jan Pietrzak proposed to house refugees in Poland, in the barracks of former German concentration camps. “I have a cruel joke with these immigrants that they hope the Poles are ready because we have barracks. We have barracks for immigrants: Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, Stutthof. Here we have many barracks built by the Germans. And here we will be (…) these immigrants who are pushed illegally by the Germans, because people fleeing to a better world are not illegal,” argued Pietrzak.
In response to his words, the Warsaw District Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation on Tuesday. The head of the National Broadcasting Council, Machie Svirski, on his part, ordered the start of the verification process.
Following Pietrzak's and Król's first announcement yesterday, further brands have announced pulling their budgets from TV Republika. They did it, including: Ikea and mBank.
