Bielan:

Agora's Acquisition of Radio Zet is an Example of a Repolonization Transaction. I Wish the Situation in Poland Resembled Germany or France, Where Foreign Capital Isn't Dominant in Any Media Sector

I consider the media sector to be at least as sensitive as the banking sector. An example of such a repolonization transaction was Agora's acquisition of Radio Zet. I wish the situation in Poland resembled the situation in Germany and France. That is, that foreign capital, if it exists, is not dominant in any media sector. The [employees] of Radio Zet speak excellent Polish because Poles work there. Poles also worked in banks, which until now were also in Western hands, and they spoke excellent Polish. We can mock it in this way. Did Germans suddenly stop working at Berlinerzeitung, perhaps the only regional newspaper that once fell into British hands? And yet, Gerhard Schröder worked very intensely in this direction so that British capital wouldn't feel too comfortable in Germany. In Germany, there is no British or American capital in regional media” - stated PiS MEP Adam Bielan in an interview with Piotr Kraśko on TOK FM Radio's "Poranek".
