"Polish President Pardons Opposition MPs for Second Time Amid Political Dispute"

Poland's President Andrzej Duda has pardoned two imprisoned opposition politicians for the second time, citing concern for their health and the wishes of Law and Justice party supporters. The politicians, former Interior Minister Mariusz Kamiński and his former deputy, Maciej Wąsik, were arrested earlier this month and had gone on a hunger strike. Duda's decision has sparked criticism, with some arguing that his 2015 pardon was ineffective and that he is disregarding Poland's law in favor of the ruling party's interests.
