Poland's political battle over state media continued on Wednesday as the new pro-European Union government put them in a state of liquidation in response to the president's rejection of funding for them.
New Prime Minister Donald Tusk seeks to free the media from political control. President Andrzej Duda, an ally of the previous conservative government, vetoed the new government’s bill that provided 3 billion zlotys ($762 million) for the public media. Duda proposed a new bill that strips that funding out.
