波兰政府将审查派拉蒙天空舞公司（Paramount Skydance Corp.）收购华纳兄弟探索公司（Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.）旗下电视台TVN SA一事。此举属于一项允许政府阻止被认定为对东欧国家具有战略意义的公司被收购的程序。
The Polish government will review the purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.-owned television broadcaster TVN SA by Paramount Skydance Corp. as part of a procedure that allows it to block takeovers of companies deemed strategic to the East European nation.
波兰国家资产部长沃伊切赫·巴尔奇恩（Wojciech Balczun）周三表示，该程序最长可能持续90天，但“纯属行政事务”，政府不会将此事政治化。
State Assets Minister Wojciech Balczun said on Wednesday that the procedure, which could last as long as 90 days, is “purely administrative” and that the government would not politicize the issue.
2021年，TVN曾成为激烈政治争议的焦点。当时，前届民族主义政府试图通过立法，强制其美国所有者交出对该电视台的控制权。但在华盛顿和总统乔·拜登的压力下，该计划最终未能通过。
TVN became the center of a bitter political row in 2021, when the previous nationalist administration sought legislation that would force the US owner to cede control of the broadcaster. The plan eventually failed under pressure from Washington and President Joe Biden.
随着波兰即将于明年年底举行议会选举，此次所有权的变更备受关注。总理唐纳德·图斯克（Donald Tusk）领导的亲欧盟联盟正努力在右翼反对派支持率不断上升的情况下保住权力。
The looming change in ownership is being closely watched as Poland heads into a parliamentary election late next year. The pro-European coalition of Prime Minister Donald Tusk is seeking to retain power against rising support for the right-wing opposition.
该电视台最宝贵的资产之一，是广受欢迎且极具影响力的新闻频道TVN24。此前，该频道对前届民族主义政府腐败行为的调查，在上一届选举前为图斯克赢得了大量支持，但也因此招致现任反对派的批评。
One of the broadcaster’s most coveted assets is its popular and influential TVN24 news channel. Its investigations of graft under the previous nationalist administration helped galvanize support for Tusk in the run-up to the previous election and has earned it criticism from the current opposition.
巴尔奇恩在接受YouTube平台Kanal Zero采访时表示：“在我们这个两极分化的世界里，有人试图将此事政治化。没有人质疑我们的联盟关系——这只是一个简单直接的程序问题，最终会得出适当的决定。”在经历了与Netflix公司的控制权争夺以及反垄断诉讼之后，派拉蒙公司于周二完成了对华纳兄弟探索公司价值1100亿美元的收购。波兰将TVN与其他主要电视台一同列为战略企业，这使政府有权否决其所有权变更。
“In our polarized world, there is an attempt to politicize this matter,” Balczun told Kanal Zero, a YouTube-based outlet. “No one is questioning our alliances — this is a straightforward procedural matter that will conclude with an appropriate decision.”Paramount closed its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery on Tuesday after a battle for control with Netflix Inc. and antitrust lawsuits. Poland classifies TVN, along with other leading broadcasters, as strategic companies, giving the government a chance to veto ownership changes.
反对派政治家亚当·比埃兰（Adam Bielan）周二对Kanal TAK表示，他了解TVN的新所有者，并希望在所有权变更后，该电视台能变得“客观”。比埃兰是波兰民族主义者与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普政府之间关系的主要协调人。
Opposition politician Adam Bielan, who spearheads relations between the Polish nationalists and the US administration of President Donald Trump, told Kanal TAK on Tuesday that he knows TVN’s new owners and hopes the station will become “objective” after the ownership switch.
在美国的收购交易中，派拉蒙公司同意为其旗下的新闻机构CBS和CNN设立一个编辑独立委员会，此举旨在回应外界担忧：埃利森家族与特朗普的友好关系可能会促使他们试图影响新闻报道内容。
In the US takeover, Paramount agreed to create an editorial independence board for its news organizations, CBS and CNN, an effort to address concerns that the Ellison family’s friendliness with Trump would prompt them to try to influence the coverage.
TVN未来所有权的决定正值波兰与特朗普政府就设立美军永久基地展开谈判之际。此举旨在威慑日益好战的俄罗斯。
The decision about the future ownership of TVN comes as Poland is locked in talks with Trump administration about setting up a permanent base for US soldiers on its soil as a deterrent against the increasingly bellicose Russia.
巴尔奇琼（Balczun）表示，派拉蒙公司尚未向波兰当局提交收购审批申请。
Paramount hasn’t yet filed its takeover-approval request to the Polish authorities, Balczun said.
