Liquidation status at TVP will facilitate employee dismissals. New head of TAI for OKO.press about the team's situation
Following President Andrzej Duda's veto of the budgetary law, Culture Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz placed TVP, Polskie Radio, and Polska Agencja Prasowa in liquidation, enabling new management to dismiss employees without the usual labor law protections. This move is seen as convenient for the ruling party, allowing dismissals of employees with long-term contracts and high severance packages, and bypassing union consultations. The liquidation status also limits severance pay to a maximum of 15 times the minimum wage. The new head of Telewizyjna Agencja Informacyjna, Grzegorz Sajór, discussed the challenges and plans for launching new programming, while the article also explores the political implications of the liquidation.

China-Poland rail connection inaugurated amid EU tariff tensions
China and Poland have launched a new rail connection as part of the Belt and Road Initiative, aiming to enhance trade between the two nations. This development is seen as a potential opportunity for Europe to export products to Asia, with Poland hoping to balance its trade relationship with China. However, tensions on the Polish-Belarusian border and EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles could impact the project's success. The EU's recent tariffs on China-made battery electric vehicles highlight ongoing economic tensions, while experts suggest that other European countries may also seek Chinese investments.
