| Description | WARSAW — Poland’s new government moved Wednesday to seize control of the country’s publicly owned television, radio and news agency from the hands of loyalists to the Law and Justice (PiS) party, which lost power following the October 15 parliamentary election.
It’s part of a broader revolution that has the new parliament setting up special commissions to investigate the actions of the former government — in power from 2015 to this year. The new government is also replacing the heads of security agencies.
Separately, a court, not under political control, on Wednesday sentenced two prominent PiS politicians to terms in prison for crimes committed when PiS briefly governed from 2005 to 2007. |
