Polish President Duda signs bill targeting Russian influence.
TL;DR
Polish President Andrzej Duda plans to sign a bill that creates a commission to investigate Russian influence on Polish politicians. Critics argue that the commission could be used to remove rivals of the ruling right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party, specifically opposition leader and former Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The bill allows for the creation of a powerful panel that would investigate potential Russian influence in Polish politics from 2007 to 2022. Legal experts said that the bill violates Poland's constitution and had urged Duda not to sign it.
