Piotr Grzegorz Farfał (born 18 May 1978 in Głogów) is a Polish rightwing politician of the League of Polish Families and former President of the Polish national TV network TVP.[1]
Biographyedit
Farfał studied law at the University of Szczecin and at the College of Banking in Wrocław. He was active in the nationalist All-Polish Youth and the National Revival of Poland.[2][3] As a student he wrote for the right-wing newspapers "Front" and "Szczerbiec" (The Sword).[1] However, when the Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza described him as a "former neo-Nazi", Farfał sued, only to have his lawsuit thrown out by a local court.[4]
In May 2006 Farfał became a supervisory board member and vice-president of the state-run TV network TVP,[1] and was appointed president in December 2008. After assuming office he cancelled a contract financing the biopicThe Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler, on the life of Irena Sendler who had helped save thousands of Jewish children during the Holocaust.[3] In protest the French-German TV network Arte suspended cooperation with TVP,[3] considering Farfał's views "incompatible with Arte’s philosophy based on intercultural exchange",[5] and stating that "the party that TVP's chairman is presently connected with does not share European values."[6]
