Poland’s president hit back at criticism from the US and the European Union over a law that would potentially put the country’s opposition leader under investigation ahead of a crucial election, saying the objections are unjustified.
President Andrzej Duda offered to speak with President Joe Biden directly to explain new legislation that would create a special committee to probe alleged Russian meddling in Poland. The US and the EU said the panel, which would likely target opposition leader Donald Tusk, could be misused to sway a tightly contested vote slated for October.
