TL;DR Summary

Poland's ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party is facing a major scandal just a month before the general election, as officials have been fired and others arrested over an alleged bribery scheme involving the issuance of Polish visas. The scandal contradicts the government's tough-on-migration stance, with reports suggesting that visas were granted in exchange for large sums of money. Opposition leader Donald Tusk has called it the "biggest scandal of the 21st century in Poland." The government has taken steps to address the issue, but the scandal could impact the upcoming election, which is expected to be closely contested.
