Parliament has voted to strip former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro of legal immunity so that he can be detained and charged for 26 alleged crimes, including leading a criminal group.
But it remains uncertain whether Ziobro will actually face those charges as he has left Poland for Hungary.

Ha, this Polish saying has already been assimilated into English enough to end up in Cambridge Dictionary, first English-language dictionary other than Wiktionary to include it.
It's become popular in English in the last few years, starting mostly with its use in Orange Is the New Black in 2017

I will never not be amused by airports that decided around 2010 to label everything in Chinese and Russian, betting on a massive wave of middle class tourists from 🇷🇺🇨🇳 to be The Next Big Thing. At least now Ukrainians can easily find their way around, I guess.

Some good news - Latvia REMAINS a party to the Istanbul Convention. For now. Facing unprecedented civil society mobilisation, and after the president refused to sign the withdrawal law, the parliament voted to postpone the decision on the Istanbul Convention until after the October 2026 elections.
