Paralysis of the National Media Council. "The King has been repeatedly asked to resign"

Wojciech Król's arrest has halted the National Media Council's operations, as only the chair can convene meetings. Despite calls for his resignation, he has not stepped down. The Council plays a crucial role in appointing supervisory boards for public media, but recent appointments are pending due to the lack of meetings. Current members include Król, Rutka, Kwiatkowski, Lichocka, and Babinetz. The Council's operations cost the state budget over 1.6 million PLN in 2025, with salaries making up a significant portion.
