WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s lawmakers are weighing two contentious draft bills. Critics say that the proposed laws on the agenda on Friday violate Poland’s constitution and are clear examples of how the right-wing ruling party is using the law to its own ends. The lower chamber was debating a bill lowering the required quorum of the Constitutional Court, with the aim of speeding up work on EU-related legislation, among others, that is stalled by divisions inside the court. A vote is also expected Friday on a proposal for a commission for Russian influences, which is generally seen as targeting former prime minister, now opposition leader Donald Tusk.
