TVP formally reported the possibility of hate-crime offenses targeting its former employee Joanna Dunikowska-Paź to Warsaw provincial prosecutors, demanding an apology from all who spread a false claim that she had asked a question about President K.N. at a presidential press conference using only his initials.
Immediate response from former TVP employee Marzena Paczuska
After TVP issued a 20 August statement, Marzena Paczuska, now a member of the National Radio and Television Council, published an additional text that she claims satisfied the network’s demands. “The TVP statement was not sufficient,” she wrote.
Paczuska’s apology to Dunikowska-Paź and TVP
In a Tuesday (2 September) evening post on X, Paczuska issued apologies to both Dunikowska-Paź and TVP. She acknowledged wrongdoing in violating their personal rights by spreading a false claim that Dunikowska-Paź was the one asking questions at a Ministry of Defense press conference referring to the President by his initials “KN” instead of using his full name and title.
TVP’s official report to prosecutors
TVP confirmed that on 19 August, they had said they would file a report to prosecutors. They also demanded apologies from additional employees: Danuta Holecka and Michał Solarz of TVR, and Marta Kielczyk of TVP Info.
