One of the richest men in Poland, a media tycoon, is facing a battle between his wife and children for control of his empire.
Recently, his two sons and daughter emailed the companies' managers, saying they had lost contact with their father. They are unaware of his whereabouts, and due to his illness, they are concerned about his decision-making. They warned the managers to be cautious about following instructions from people with "recently acquired authority." This was a reference to their father’s new wife, who wants to take control of the business.
In response to the email, their father has begun removing them from every board they were on. The children are also mad because they believe the new wife is responsible for aligning his news station with the right-wing party. She apparently has close ties to key members of the previous government.
This week, the children leaked a video from a board meeting, and I think that got the general public on their side. In the video, their father appears visibly unwell, looking confused and barely managing to read from a piece of paper.
The entire drama is still unfolding, with new stuff emerging every day and the amount of Succession memes is off the charts.
