| Sep 7, 2022 at 19:42 | comment | added | prosfilaes | Stefan Michnik was giving the death penalty to people in 1951, and Sweden declined to extradite him since his alleged crimes were outside the statue of limitations in Sweden. It has nothing to do with him being left-wing, or the people killed being conservative (if they even were; anti-communist and left-wing are not inconsistent, and anti-Soviet even less so). If you're talking about Rzeczpospolita as the opposition newspaper, it's still in print, and the German Wikipedia article blames PiS for the removal of the head editor. | |

The constitutional court ruled that the judges that were giving death penalty to opposition members were immune. And no one cared, because the judges were left winged and people killed were conservative. One exmple: criminal and murdered that happily lives in sweden en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Michnik. | |
| Jun 23, 2017 at 8:40 | comment | added | user14816 | The previous government destroyed the leading, and basically the only opposition newspaper, with the most of the staff quitting and starting new magazines: Krzysztof Feusette, Cezary Gmyz, Piotr Gociek, Piotr Gontarczyk, Andrzej Horubała, Jerzy Jachowicz, Igor Janke, Jacek Karnowski, Michał Karnowski, Waldemar Łysiak, Marek Magierowski, Robert Mazurek, Maciej Pawlicki, Marek Pyza, Piotr Semka, Wiktor Świetlik, Łukasz Warzecha, Bronisław Wildstein, Piotr Zaremba, Rafał Zawistowski, Rafał Ziemkiewicz, Piotr Zychowicz. Shortly after the sells dipped from 126,113 to 14,161 and was evently closed. | |

| Jan 18, 2016 at 22:02 | comment | added | Philipp♦ | @Bregalad I think the fact that Berlusconi got voted prime minister of Italy four times despite being so obviously corrupt is a good example why having all media controlled by the government is a bad idea. Also, I would like to repeat the last sentence of my answer: It's not that Poland is so much worse than some other EU members, its the rapid development to the worse. | |
| Jan 18, 2016 at 21:39 | comment | added | Bregalad | @Philipp Media control in many EU states is dubious at least. I belive Berlusconi constrolled almost all Italian media at some point and that didn't prevent him to be hated among all Italy. Swiss has the higher density of newspapers, however all of them were bought by the same company: Tamedia, Inc. so this company has a large control of media in Switzerland. Is the situation in Poland even more worrying than that? | |

| Jan 18, 2016 at 16:30 | comment | added | user4012 | Followup: I can see how it can worry citizens of Poland. Why would it worry other EU states? | |
