Law and Justice (PiS)

Law and Justice (PiS) is a conservative-nationalist political party in Poland that previously held power. They are newsworthy due to ongoing investigations into alleged abuses of power during their time in government. Specifically, former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, a prominent PiS figure central to controversial judiciary reforms, is under investigation for embezzlement and abuse of power. He has been granted political asylum in Hungary, further highlighting the controversy. The current Polish government, under Donald Tusk, is engaging in diplomatic talks with Germany, signaling a shift from the previous PiS administration. These developments underscore the ongoing political transition in Poland and the scrutiny faced by former PiS officials.
