“Every day we receive new and new information about various strange events that are directly and indirectly related to the aggressive presence of Russian and Belarusian secret services in Europe. It is probably no surprise to anyone that the same (happens) in Poland,” said Prime Minister Donald Tusk before the government meeting in Katowice.

The collegium for secret services will deal with the case of judge Szmydt, who worked at the Ministry of Justice under the previous government and is being investigated for espionage after fleeing to Belarus.
The collegium for secret services is to discuss the influence of the Russian and Belarusian secret services on Polish authorities and high-ranking officials in recent years.
At the same time, the previous Law and Justice government already passed a law a year ago, on the basis of which a state commission was to be established to investigate Russian influence on politicians and its actions against the interests of Poland.
He was nicknamed Lex Tusk. According to critics, the law was intended to eliminate the opposition at the time. Against the decision of the commission appointed by the then House of Commons with a majority Rights and justice there would be no appeal.
The President signed the law then, but then sent it to the Constitutional Court for consideration. At the time, the law contributed to high participation in the anti-government protest on June 4.
