Brussels rewards Tusk's progress in restoring the rule of law in Poland with European funds. The European Commission approves the first disbursement of 6.3 billion euros of the recovery plan.
Brussels turns the page in its long confrontation with Poland over attacks on the judicial independence of the former ultra-conservative government. This is a decision of more political than economic significance, despite the large amount of funds at stake: some 137,000 million euros in total, of which the first 6,300 million will be disbursed in the coming weeks.
