Of course, this is not something strange, as the United Kingdom, has a great Polish diaspora. It’s a fact that Poles that live in other countries, always support their country of origin in the contest, something that is expected to happen once again this year.

Luna and the song “The Tower”, will take part in the first half of the first semi-final, in May 7:

Today, the Polish public broadcaster, posted the music video of their entry for this year’s contest, revealing that Luna will travel to Malmö, getting positive and negative reactions at the same time.

On a post on her personal account on Instafram, Justyna expressed her gratitude to the world that supported her and sent a message to Luna:

“My darlings, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and that so many of you loved the song “Witch-er Tarohoro”. This is the biggest win for me. Already today I invite you to the only concert in Warsaw (COS – Torwar), which is titled “WITCH-ER”, where you will be able to see the wonderful show of my new album, which I’m working on, which “Witch-er Tarohoro” is the first single. […]

Don’t hate on Luna please. It is not easy to carry such a responsibility, and if you are clipping on her wings today, it will be difficult to rise above such heavy energy and give a good Eurovision show. Keep your fingers crossed for her, like I am. Good luck to the whole team”

Poland: Major changes in TVP after national elections!

On Sunday, October 15, 2023 , the national parliamentary elections of Poland took place, with Donald Tusk winning and becoming the Prime Minister of the country.

One of the many reforms he already made, was, of course, the replacement of the director of TVP, by Tomasz Sygut, who in turn made radical changes within the council of the public television.

Some of the TVP employees:

  • Aneta Woźniak has been the Program Manager since November 2022 with many years of experience in television
  • Marcin Skabara , was Woźniak’s deputy , and is responsible for the program’s marketing and strategy
  • Piotr Kierzkowski has been the director and editor-in-chief of TVP 3 since August 2023, and has also been an assistant to the former president of TVP . He has been working for public television since 2021
  • Wojciech Kowalczyk has been a member of TVP’s advertising office since 2016
  • Przemysław Herburt has been the head of the corporate affairs office since October 2022, and recently, following the decision of the former president, he also became the company’s representative
  • Finally, Agnieszka Marciniak has been the director of the human capital management office since February 2023, while she is also the director of TVP’s administrative office

All the above mentioned people, as well as several TVP employees, were fired from the company, by decision of the Tusk government, accused of propaganda in favor of the “Law and Justice” party that lost the lastest elections.

The news channel, TVP Info, has already stopped broadcasting, while at the same time, the station’s official website has been closed .

In this way, the new, pro-European government of the country decided to restore the “legitimacy and impartiality” of public television, which according to their words , had turned “into a propaganda tool” of the previous ruling party.
