The government's new media restrictions will ban journalists from shooting still pictures or video in parliament, in particular when MPs break the rules, for example by voting for an absent colleague.
Reporters will also be moved to a media centre located in another building, limiting their access to politicians.
Although banned from the main assembly room, at present journalists can mingle freely in the parliament building and grab politicians for interviews in the halls.
Several Warsaw-based journalists tweeted as more than 20 Polish media outlets refused to cover parliament on Friday, under the hashtag #DzieńBezPolitykow (Day without politicians). They included newspapers "Gazeta Wyborcza" and "Rzeczpospolita." [...]
Analysts described Friday's events as the most serious crisis in Poland's parliament in many years.
