Polish Sejm lifts KO MP's immunity but blocks his arrest by EU prosecutors

Poland's Sejm voted to lift the parliamentary immunity of Koalicja Obywatelska MP Wojciech Król, chairman of the National Media Council, who has been under investigation by the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) for corruption since May. However, the Sejm simultaneously refused to allow his detention or pre-trial arrest, sparking immediate outrage from opposition parties. The decision raises questions about KO's commitment to the rule of law and EU institutional cooperation.
