Poland abruptly pushed through the bill forcing Discovery, Inc. to sell TVN, setting itself on the collision course with the Biden administration
In a sudden move that took opposition, experts, and its European and Trans-Atlantic allies by suprise, the Law and Justice-controlled Sejm decided to pass the dormant Lex TVN bill during the last, pre-holiday season parliamentary session on December 17th.
