in the czech republic so my question to use what do you intend in the next legislature to do about this and i would mainly ask the parties that are expected to something and actually do some of these reforms in government thank you ok thank you for your question for your opinion it is true that the free media were interests in the past in poland i am the best example i used to work as a director of the polish public television and i was fired when sitting platform one election just because my views are conservative i was a member of the party and i was fired so i'm the best example you're right liberals just throw me away i lost my job so you're right the free media where interest in poland and not any more judiciary the difference between german system and polish system of judiciary is that minister of justice in germany appointing judges and in poland minister of justice cannot appoint the judge the truth i'll tell you ok the
parliament but they didn't rule but that situation by political decision is making by the minute you let me finish and let me. let me finish so we need an answer on tackling corruption clean corruption ok money laundering who was the one who was invited to european poland parliament two weeks ago martin called stuff from the open dialogue foundation and we found out that she is into the money laundering from russia and she was invited by the socialist to be that important european parliament ok this is thank you very much ok to suck so he insults yeah ok this is very briefly because we're running out of my nation very i think and probably the one thing that just the only thing that we will ever agree on is that indeed the fact that the european commission has only dared to target poland. addressing the fundamental rights violations and the rule of law. violations is because
they're the law and justice party is not a member of the e.p. family or any of the other families and that is why i was very honored to be ruppert chair of a proposal for a brought mechanism to uphold democracy the rule of law and fundamental rights in other words the so-called article two of the treaty values and i am very confident that even if it took some time for the european commission and the european council to come to the. realization that we need such mechanism i think it will materialize in the next in the next period and that needs all the member states will be incest on the basis of the same criteria on a regular annual basis something the council of europe decided in february an offshoot of the council of europe press freedom in europe is now in the worst state than at any time since the cold war how worrying is that to live a very briefly very briefly we're running out of time it's absolutely boring because those in power in some countries try to undermine the freedom of press and
we have been on top third in new media we're fake news on a daily basis from morning till morning so we're really in danger through losing throne of democracies by a by a mechanism and a mind. really spirit of a decent and really true dialogue and argument is undermined by those mechanisms from governments in power as well as other powers outside the money political public remarks across worried are you about the state of press freedom in europe i'm very worried about because what we've seen now is the attempt of the governments to censor to social networks and to social media and for instance the shoreline is partly introduced and it's fair to set source because that's what's your sense of which you make. facebook which is
a private owned company to be to censor the net for which is shameful we have more blocked users of facebook and twitter in germany then we have in russia and you sit here and tell me you are very good about freedom of press and freedom of expression that it's a lie if you're just hoping for your party you're just a typical for your party and christians are the point is that freedom of opinion is now mostly on the internet there to people debate and discuss and governments mostly left wing liberal governments especially the party of july and they introduce morse to undermine the freedom of debate and the internet and that's very shameful and this is something that will end immediately if we get the possibility to do so you could bring get through bring freedom better line you know you have twenty seconds arjuna shamed by that not at all why not just about the hate speech is not really fall it's a speech being we guaranteed your freedom of speech not sure phil pinion but what
we see on the internet is really beyond the red lines and you have to have measures to really limit all right we're going to have to leave that question there my thanks to our for panelists and they are questioners here in the audience and to all of you for watching don't forget there's a longer version of this debate which you can find online for now from all of us on the team here the european parliament in brussels thank you thank you.
