The European Union is highly unlikely to fund a Polish ultra-nationalist Catholic radio station which is infamous for its anti-Semitic programming, a European Union official said Monday.
The chances that the controversial Polish radio station Radio Maryja would get EU funding for the expansion of a journalism school are “close to zero,” a European Commission spokesman in Israel said.
The school was on a list of 350 projects that Warsaw had recommended receive EU funding.
The 15.5 million Euros in EU funding was to have been part of regional funding that the EU offers to all 27 member states, especially those that joined the EU in 2004.
The ultra-nationalist Catholic radio station, which is a strong supporter of the conservative Polish government, has a long record of anti-Semitic broadcasts.
