Poland veto stalls EU digital rules, risking new fines

Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed Warszawa’s bill to implement the EU’s Digital Services Act, delaying Brussels’ flagship online-content rules and reviving a long-running clash over the rule of law. The move could expose Poland to multimillion-euro fines (reports mention up to about €9.5 million) and comes as Brussels has already opened infringement proceedings for failing to designate a national watchdog to enforce the DSA. A new version of the bill might be ready within two months, but experts say that outcome is unlikely amid the ongoing political dispute.
