A controversial Czech media outlet, notorious for promoting Kremlin-backed narratives, has crossed into Poland, raising alarms in an already fragile Polish media landscape.
In June 2023, Czech gaming tycoons Marek Španěl and Slavomír Pavlíček expanded their media empire by acquiring a 70% stake in OUR Media, the parent company of the controversial website Parlamentní Listy (PL). This acquisition, framed by Španěl as a defence of free speech, raised eyebrows in Czechia’s media and political circles.
Parlamentní Listy, infamous for promoting pro-Kremlin narratives and far-right nationalist content, has now crossed borders, launching a Polish edition that poses new challenges to Poland’s already embattled media landscape.
