Polish parliament celebrates Hanukkah amid far-right protest outside
An official ceremony to celebrate the Jewish festival of Hanukkah has been held in Poland’s parliament, one year on from when the same event was attacked with a fire extinguisher by far-right MP Grzegorz Braun.

Poland decided to add several media and telecommunication firms to its list of strategic companies, which means their takeover will not be possible without government consent, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday.
Tusk had earlier said that private broadcasters TVN, owned by U.S. company Warner Discovery, and Polsat would be added to the list, highlighting increased concern about foreign interference. Tusk cited "hybrid war" against countries in the region.

At its foot, Polish soldiers, hooded and carrying machine guns, patrol the border -- a flashpoint between Warsaw and Minsk whom Poland had blamed for orchestrating the influx of migrants. "Migration is artificially directed here," said Michal Bura, a spokesman for the Podlasie region border guards, joining the patrol in his four-wheel drive. "The Belarusian services help the migrants, transport them from one place to another, and equip them with tools they need to cross this barrier, such as pliers, hacksaws, and ladders," he added.
This month, the five-metre-high (16-foot) metal barrier along the border built in 2022 has been reinforced with metal bars and another layer of barbed wire. Warsaw has also installed new cameras every 200 metres along the fence to detect migrants before they even attempt to cross it.

Donald Tusk has failed to keep his promises on abortion laws

Thank you for reminding it! The government not only keep current law. They also shall publish recommendations for courts and medics.
