    The European Union cut off more than $100 billion in funding to Poland as part of its dispute with the previous government, funds that began to be reinstated once voters elected the new, liberal government committed to doing away with Law and Justice’s changes.

    It’s always baffling to read how much money the EU sends out in funding - not just to EU states, but in general to support EU values even outside of the EU.

    Cutting off 100 billion in funding is certainly noteworthy.


    Very interesting article about how they were able to free the media.

      I’m fairly sure this $100b funding NPR talks about is EU recovery fund which is quite massive due to extraordinary circumstances.
