TV Republika presenter removes controversial on-screen graphic

TV Republika Danuta Holecka Cezary Tomczyk broadcast controversy Polish politics

During a live broadcast of the program ‘Gość Dzisiaj’ on TV Republika, presenter Danuta Holecka intervened to demand the removal of a controversial on-screen graphic. While interviewing Przemysław Czarnek, a news ticker appeared comparing Deputy Minister of National Defense Cezary Tomczyk to a ‘chihuahua’ attacking the President of Poland.

Holecka immediately addressed the production team on air, stating, ‘Please remove this bar. In Republika, we do not insult anyone.’

The incident occurred amidst a political discussion regarding remarks made by Karol Nawrocki during Polish Armed Forces Day celebrations and subsequent comments by Cezary Tomczyk. Czarnek expressed strong criticism of the Deputy Minister’s statements during the segment.
