Second Cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki

In July 2021, a group of PiS lawmakers, submitted to parliament a draft amendment that would prevent companies from outside the European Economic Area taking control of Polish radio and television stations. This would mean that American Discovery which owns TVN might be forced to divest its ownership, therefore the proposes law is commonly known as Lex TVN (the TVN Law) in Poland. The TVN is known to be highly critical of the Law and Justice party (PiS).[3][4] Agreement (political party), a PiS coalition partner, was opposed to this, they instead proposed a change that would allow companies from countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to own more than 49% of shares in Polish media companies. Meaning no change to American ownership of the channel.[5][6]

The government denies the measure is aimed at any one broadcaster, saying it seeks to prevent potential media acquisitions by non-EU countries such as Russia, China and Arab nations.[7]

in August 2021, the bill was passed via the Sejm on a vote of 228 to 216, with 10 abstentions, making TVN’s rights expire on September 26.[2][8][9] This resulted in breaking the United Right coalition after Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin had been sacked and had taken away the 13 members of his Agreement party.[2]

In July 2020, Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro declared he will begin preparing the formal process to withdraw Poland from the Istanbul Convention.[10][11][12][13] He said that the treaty is harmful because it "requires that schools teach children about gender in an ideological way and de-emphasizes biological sex".

In March 2021, Ziobro justice ministry prepared a bill banning same-sex couples from adopting children, saying “This solution corresponds to the views of the vast majority of Polish society,”[14][15]
