Poland's new law targets Russian influence and opposition leaders.

TL;DR Summary
Poland's ruling Law and Justice party has passed a bill to investigate alleged Russian influence in the country from 2007 to 2022. Those found to have acted under Russian influence would be banned from public office and positions requiring security clearance for 10 years. The opposition party Civic Platform has criticised the move as a targeted attempt to influence elections next year and a "witch hunt" against former leader Donald Tusk. A constitution expert has warned that the legislation has a vague definition of Russian influence that is open to abuse.
