Polish President Backtracks on Controversial Russian Influence Law Amid Backlash

Duda signed a law creating a committee to investigate Russian influence in Poland that was seen as targeting the opposition.
The law drew criticism from the US and EU over concerns for Poland's democracy.
Duda now proposes amendments to ensure nonpartisan review and prevent banning officials from office.
The opposition saw the original law as an attempt to hurt the candidacy of former PM Donald Tusk.
The ruling party said amendments could be acceptable but the opposition criticized Duda for changing his mind.
