spokesmen say the new panel is needed to foster transparency and strengthen the country at a time of heightened threat. “Honest people who acted in the interest of Poland have nothing to hide and nothing to be afraid of,” said Mr Duda.

A poll released on May 29th by United Surveys, a market-research group, found 61% of respondents agreeing the new law was “a pre-election ploy to discredit political opponents”. Nor are Poles the only ones worried. Within hours of the law’s passage America’s State Department issued a statement fretting that the commission “could be used to block the candidacy of opposition politicians without due process”.
