TV Republika’s controversial show “Kulisy Manipulacji” has ignited discussions with its latest episode questioning the right of Polish soldiers to defend the country’s borders. Hosted by Katarzyna Gójska and Piotr Lisiewicz, along with expert Robert Bąkiewicz, the show explores the recent border tensions and the tactics involved.
In response to the growing scrutiny, Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has set up a Legal Aid Center to support the police, Border Guard, and soldiers legally. This move aims to safeguard their rights amid increasing pressure.
The show also highlights the controversy surrounding the appointment of prosecutors by Adam Bodnar, the former human rights ombudsman of Poland. Bodnar criticized border defense efforts, suggesting discrimination against migrants of non-Belarusian descent.
Furthermore, the program critiques public figures like actress Barbara Kurdej-Szatan for her perceived anti-military views, juxtaposing them with her television achievements.
