In a significant move to enhance public discourse, President Karol Nawrocki has signed a new anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) law in Poland, aimed at curtailing unfounded lawsuits that hinder open debate.
This legislative action comes at a time when sentiment surrounding the Polish market is showing signs of recovery, with an adjusted sentiment score of 71 indicating a shift towards greater investor optimism.
