The head of the All-Polish Committee for Defense Against Sects referred to Darski as a “Satanist and blasphemous criminal. According to Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita, TVP considered replacing Nergal following the outpouring of protests, but ultimately decided not to because they’d already taped several shows to be baridcast through late October. The show’s producers, Rochstar, called him a “warm and friendly man with a great sense of humor.”
