An appeal to support the station
During the program, the host encouraged viewers to continue supporting the station financially, arguing that it is important for the functioning of independent media.
— I think that there is no need to explain these arguments to you again as to why we need to be supported. Because you know perfectly well that freedom of speech is a key issue today – she said.
Later in her statement, Borkowska argued that the number of people supporting the station is also a signal sent to political opponents.
— It's also about showing the crypto-dictatorship that there are many of us, that there are actually a lot of supporters behind Telewizja Republika who will not allow it to clip the wings of freedom of speech. The point is that when the cryptodictatorship sits in front of the TV today and watches, for example, this program, the cryptodictatorship now sees how many people support us. And this is a very clear signal sent to the crypto-dictatorship: stay away from the Republic, stay away from journalists, she said.
