WARSAW - Polish lawmakers passed a Bill on Friday to create a commission to look into Russian influence in the country, in what the opposition says is a government attempt to launch a witch hunt against political opponents in an election year.

PO rejects this criticism and opposition figures have labelled the Bill “Lex Tusk,” using the Latin term for “law.” The commission would investigate the period 2007-2022 and have the power to ban people found to have acted under Russian influence from holding security clearance or working in roles where they are responsible for public funds for 10 years, effectively disqualifying them from public office.
