Poland's president said on Monday he would sign off on a bill authorising a panel to investigate Russian influence despite opposition criticism it is witch hunt against government opponents in an election year.
The ruling nationalist Law and Justice party says that the liberal opposition Civic Platform party allowed Poland to become dangerously dependent on Russian fossil fuels when the PO was in government from 2007 to 2015, raising questions about whether PO members were under Moscow's sway.
Opposition figures call a bill to set up an investigative commission the "Lex Tusk", using the Latin term for "law".
