Poland’s lawmakers voted on Friday to approve a divisive law on Russian influence criticised by the European Union and the US. When it takes effect, it will create a powerful committee of experts who can investigate alleged Russian interference in Poland and name politicians who allegedly allow it. Poland’s lower house (Sejm) voted 235-214 with four abstentions to reject the Senate’s veto to the draft law amended by Duda. The legislation now requires Duda’s signature to take effect. The amended bill calls for a commission to check whether between 2007 and 2022 politicians have taken decisions under Russia’s influence that could threaten Poland’s security. Duda claims it is needed for transparency’s sake and to prevent Russia from jeopardising Poland’s future stability. Is Poland turning to a dictatorship while other European nations still hold to democracy ?
