EU to Decide on Releasing €137 Billion to Poland Next Week

The funds, frozen over previous government's policies, aim to boost Poland's economy and support rule-of-law restoration.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced decisions on the release of €137 billion to Poland will be made next week.
The funds were frozen due to the previous Polish government's anti-EU policies and are intended for pandemic recovery and infrastructure development.
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has pledged to reverse the controversial policies of his predecessors, aiming to restore rule of law.
A portion of the funds, €1.4 billion, is allocated to support farmers affected by tax-free imports of Ukrainian produce.
Local elections in April could further strengthen the current pro-EU government's standing across Poland.
