Poland Passes Bill On Russian Influence

Former PM Donald Tusk is seen at the Sejm, the Polish parliament on 26 May, 2023. The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has voted through legislation to form a commission that will have to power to investigate alleged Russian influence in previous administrations and punish those deemed to have acted in Russia’s interests, including by banning them from office. The bill will first pass President Andrzej Duda for approval and has been criticised by opposition parties and experts, who argue that its real purpose is to help the ruling party win this year’s elections or, if they lose, to hinder the work of a new government afterwards.
