Our colleague @DorotaBawolek was interrupted yday while doing an interview. A 🇵🇱 state tv employee recorded the interview against her request & then the tv manipulated the story. Later, Dorota became target of a smear campaign. We strongly condemn the harassment of our colleague!
Ciao Vito! 👋 Thanks for everything! 🙏🏻Good luck with your new job! 😊
