Obviously some random german citizen doesn't give a fuck about Poland any more then I give a fuck about the specific inner workings of Germany that have no effect on me, but businesses and the DE gov't definately seem to be very interested. Pretty much every largest tv station, newspaper and news website is in the hands of german capital. If they weren't interested, then they wouldn't have spent billions buying up most media in poland.

A sovereign poland is very bad for many companies, and big companies do hold political sway. Poland is losing a ton of money due to capital flight - all these companies aren't paying taxes in PL at all, profits are all being transferred out of the country. The current gov't is trying to tighten that up whereas the previous government was just following instructions. Hell, they were claiming coal mines weren't worth running, selling them for pocket change to foreign investors, and suddenly these same coal mines are making money hand over fist. They did the same shit with land. Public land and forests being sold for fucking pocket change to foreign investors - now there's laws against it. Or even why was the labour market in Germany opened up to polish nationals? It's not so we live better here - it's so they could suck up skilled workers.
There's almost 40 million people here, that's almost half the population of germany - a very big market and alot of money to be made.
If germany were about to ban porn, and I had influence I would use it to try to stop that because it would be against my interests. The same thing here is happening with german companies. Media companies have investors, these investors own other companies, they don't like the way something is going so they push their agenda.
