Police at the headquarters of Telewizja Republika. They demand documents

At the headquarters of Telewizja Republika in Warsaw, officers from the Central Bureau of Cybercrime arrived with a prosecutor's order to obtain broadcast recordings. The station's employees read part of the documents on air, revealing that investigators demanded files related to a program aired on October 16, covering events outside the Constitutional Tribunal. Tensions escalated when the station refused to hand over the materials, leading to a confrontation with police. Jarosław Kaczyński, president of PiS, defended the station, accusing the government of attempting to suppress free media. Meanwhile, Minister Marcin Kierwiński filed a defamation complaint against the station following an incident involving police officers.
