The prime minister was heavily criticised during the pre-vote debate, though he chose not to be present for all of it.

Lawfare offensive, fraud allegations and Manfred Weber to force the PM out? Keep a close eye on Poland.

The Polish PM says he wants a vote “soon” but his announcement seems to be nothing more than a publicity stunt.
