Polish government's controversial probes into Russian influence and opposition leaders

Poland's parliament has passed a law to investigate Russian political influence in the country from 2007 to 2022, covering the governments of both the Civic Platform party and the current Law and Justice (PiS) party. The opposition denounces the effort as a political witch hunt aimed at hurting it before this fall's parliamentary election. The government insists the legislation has no ulterior motive, but the opposition suspects it's aimed at eliminating its most dangerous enemy, Donald Tusk, from politics. The stakes in the upcoming election are high, with the opposition warning that Poland could shift into being an authoritarian state if PiS wins an unprecedented third term.
