Polish TV station under investigation after ‘jokes’ of migrants being sent to Auschwitz
The headquarters of the right-wing television broadcaster TV Republika in Warsaw, Poland, on January 5, 2023
PROSECUTORS in Poland are investigating commentators who “joked” on a right-wing television station that migrants should be sent to Auschwitz or tattooed or microchipped as a part of European reforms.
Some companies have pulled advertising from the broadcaster over the past week after guests on TV Republika made the remarks.
The private station’s role as a platform for conservative views grew after the right-wing Law and Justice party lost control of the government and public media, which it had been using to cast large-scale migration into Europe as an existential danger.
