WARSAW—A U.S.-owned broadcaster critical of Poland’s nationalist government could lose its license due to a proposed change in law, opposition legislators said on Thursday, as they voiced rising concern about media freedoms in the country.
Poland’s ruling nationalists Law and Justice (PiS) have long argued that some foreign-owned media organizations distort public debate and do not serve Polish interests, but critics say the government aims to increase control over the media and curb free speech.
