Press Freedom Concerns: Challenges Faced by Journalists in Poland

When the Law and Justice Party came to power in Poland, there were significant changes at state media broadcasters, turning them into propaganda organs for the party. Journalists faced censorship and were unable to publish critical content. The government's efforts to control state institutions, including the court system, have led to EU sanctions. While a new centrist liberal government is now in power, it faces challenges in undoing the previous administration's changes, as the president, who is from the previous ruling party, vetoes their moves.
