Poland’s plan to access EU aid spurs tensions over bill

 

Bloomberg

Poland’s plan to access frozen EU aid hit a snag after hardliners in the ruling coalition rejected a deal to roll back judicial changes and the president set conditions for his ratification of legislation.
The proposal negotiated by the government with
the European Commission would undo many contested judicial changes the government has introduced during its seven-year rule. If it passes, Brussels will likely agree to free up €35.4 billion ($37.7 billion) in funds.
PM Mateusz Morawiecki was hoping the agreement would help lift his Law & Justice party’s flagging support before next year’s elections by helping it tackle a cost-of-living crisis and rising debt costs.
