Tomasz Sakiewicz created a colossus with feet of clay—Telecommunications Republika. The station teeters on the brink of collapse, but it can still keep Jarosław Kaczyński in check because PiS voters watch "Sakiewki" television.
Politicians from the ruling coalition are pointing to the need to clarify reports regarding "Mr. X," who allegedly promised Zondacrypto CEO Przemysław Kral a pardon. According to the media, this could be TV Republika CEO Tomasz Sakiewicz. Sakiewicz and the Law and Justice party (PiS) are calling it a political provocation.
We know that the mysterious "X" mentioned by Prime Minister Donald Tusk is the head of the Republic. However, we still don't know if Kral is telling the truth when he testifies that Tomasz Sakiewicz offered him a pardon from President Karol Nawrocki. Or whether such a promise was even substantiated.
Following Donald Tusk's high-profile speech and the release of excerpts from his testimony in the Zondacrypto scandal, journalists uncovered the identity of "Mr. X." They determined he was one of the most recognizable figures in the right-wing media. The revelations sparked a flurry of commentary.
Tomasz Sakiewicz, co-owner of Telewizja Republika, is the Mr. X who appeared in excerpts from the Zondacrypto investigation quoted by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, WP and TVN24 report. Deputy PiS leader Przemysław Czarnek and Sakiewicz himself addressed the media findings in Tuesday's Graffiti.
During his address to the Sejm, Prime Minister Donald Tusk cited Przemysław Kral's testimony, which included a promise of pardon following Karol Nawrocki's victory. According to TVN24 and WP, "Mr. X" is Tomasz Sakiewicz.
