Polish Left wants to soften the "phase-out law" — bill seen as six months too late

Poland's Left party has proposed an amendment to the so-called "phase-out law" that would improve conditions for single mothers and prevent family separations. Commentators acknowledge the initiative is well-intentioned but criticise its timing — submitted to parliament during the summer recess, at least six months after it was needed. The phase-out law has already caused significant social harm.
