Poland's Controversial Law Takes Aim at Opposition Amid Fears of Russian Influence

Poland's ruling Law and Justice party has passed a controversial law on Russian influence, which critics argue could be used to target political opponents. The law establishes a committee of experts to investigate alleged Russian interference and potentially bar politicians from holding public positions. The legislation is seen as primarily targeting former Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who is expected to run in the upcoming parliamentary election. President Andrzej Duda proposed amendments to the law, but it still faces criticism from the US State Department and EU authorities for its potential impact on democracy and the independence of the judiciary.
