“We view this investigation as an act of retaliation against those who want to preserve the Polish-American alliance. Against those who want Poland to remain protected by the United States,” said Tomasz Sakiewicz, head of TV Republika, speaking on the station’s broadcast. He has been summoned to the prosecutor’s office to give testimony in an investigation concerning the organization of CPAC Poland in Rzeszów.
Tomasz Sakiewicz, president of TV Republika, has been called to appear before the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw in connection with the organization of CPAC Poland in Rzeszów in May 2025.
“I have been summoned to the prosecutor’s office in an investigation aimed at explaining why we ‘committed’ something like organizing CPAC Poland in Rzeszów,”
he said on air.
He recalled that it was the largest Polish-American gathering, one that “builds transatlantic relations at a time when they are being undermined by Donald Tusk’s government.”
Retaliation against allies of the United States
“We see this investigation as retaliation against those who want to maintain the Polish-American alliance. Against those who want Poland to be protected by the United States,”
Sakiewicz emphasized.
He argued that opponents of these ideas want to “hand Poland over to the Germans, to Brussels bureaucracy, and weaken our defense capabilities.” Sakiewicz also noted that representatives of the U.S. government had guaranteed Poland’s security.
“They guaranteed that within the alliance with the United States, Poland would have assured technological and economic development. What we are seeing today is an attack on what we organized. This event was financed at great expense by our viewers, sponsors, and journalists, who did everything to ensure it met high international standards. And that is now the subject of the prosecutor’s investigation; why we did it, for what purpose, and how much we spent,”
the head of TV Republika stressed.
He added that it was not a profit-driven event; it aimed to promote Poland, the Podkarpackie region, and to ensure that “the whole world takes notice of the Polish-American alliance.”
