Left-wing figures take over Polish Radio supervisory boards amid depoliticisation pledges

Six people linked to the Nowa Lewica party joined the supervisory boards of Polish Radio in May and June 2026, as part of reforms announced by Wojciech Król, chair of the National Media Council and a Civic Coalition MP. The moves were framed as part of a depoliticisation drive, but critics note that one political camp is simply replacing another. The development raises fresh doubts about genuine editorial independence at public broadcasters.
