EU takes legal action against Poland over Russian influence law.

The EU's top court has ruled that Poland's judicial reforms violate EU democracy norms, and the country could now face even larger penalties. Additionally, the EU is suing Poland over a new law aimed at stamping out "Russian influence," which critics fear will be used to pressure the opposition ahead of elections this fall. The situation highlights the Jekyll and Hyde nature of Poland's relationship with the EU and US, with concerns growing over democratic backsliding in the country.
