Poland Passes Controversial Law Targeting Opposition, Sparking International Criticism

Polish President Andrzej Duda approved a bill creating a commission to investigate Russian influence in Poland, but critics view it as a tool to remove political opponents.
The bill violates the Polish Constitution, and the opposition has called on Duda to reject it.
The bill establishes a state commission with the powers of prosecutor and judge, which could impose punishments, including 10-year bans on officials from positions that have control over spending public funds.
The US and EU criticized the law, threatening to take measures if it undermines democratic standards.
The law is viewed as targeting opposition leader Donald Tusk, the former EU Council president.
