Donald Tusk's eligibility for office in Poland questioned.

Polish President Andrzej Duda has signed a highly contentious draft law that foresees the creation of a state commission to investigate Russia's influence "on the internal security of the Republic of Poland in the years 2007–2022." The opposition has dubbed the bill "Lex Tusk" and sees it as a direct attempt to torpedo the candidacy of former PM and former President of the European Council Donald Tusk, the opposition politician with the best prospects in this fall's parliamentary election. The new commission will have more powers than a parliamentary committee of inquiry and there are fears that it would use these sweeping powers to effectively block Tusk from running for office.
