Concerns Over Potential use of New Polish Legislation to Target Opposition [ https://www.state.gov/concerns-over-potential-use-of-new-polish-legislation-to-target-opposition/ ] 05/29/2023 07:39 PM EDT
Matthew Miller, Department Spokesperson
The U.S. Government is concerned by the Polish government’s passage of new legislation that could be misused to interfere with Poland’s free and fair elections. We share the concerns expressed by many observers that this law to create a commission to investigate Russian influence could be used to block the candidacy of opposition politicians without due process. We call on the government of Poland to ensure this law does not preempt voters’ ability to vote for candidate of their choice and that it not be invoked or abused in ways that could affect the perceived legitimacy of elections.
