[1] Farfał studied law at the University of Szczecin and at the College of Banking in Wrocław.
[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.
[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] A number of Polish public media figures, including film directors Agnieszka Holland and Andrzej Wajda, subsequently appealed to the public to boycott TVP on Polish Constitution day, 3 May 2009.
