The new law allows authorities to ban politicians from public office for alleged pro-Russian activities, a move detractors say could let the government persecute opposition officials ahead of parliamentary elections later this year.
In a bid, perhaps, to quell some concerns Andrzej Duda, the president, has submitted amendments to the law, removing or diluting some of its more contentious points such as the commission’s power to exclude people from public office.
Perhaps they’ve realized that completely going through with the anti-Tusk campaign would actually sink them (I still have my doubts that PiS are capable of realizing this entirely, but eh). Though if the law were remotely serious about “combating Russian influence,” you would see them go after Konfederacja goons…which will probably only happen when pigs fly.
