The IBRIS poll suggests that 40.8% of Poles notice Russian influence on politics and 31.5% on business, but the threat is also visible in other aspects of social life, like the media (25.7%) and the justice system (20.9%).
According to the data published on Monday by the Polish Dziennik Gazeta Prawna daily, the public views some of Poland’s governing parties as pro-Russian. This includes the centrist Civic Coalition (KO), the backbone party in the coalition government (30.1% of the respondents), the main opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party (23%), and the far-right Confederation party (16.2%).
Meanwhile, those three parties are often thought of as the ones to provide national security. KO was described as such by 27.9% of the respondents, PiS by 25.9%, and the Confederation by 14.2%.
On Wednesday, Poland will announce who will sit on the board of a parliamentary commission to investigate
Russian and Belarusian influence, headed by Jarosław Stróżyk, a military counter-espionage general.
IBRIS carried out the survey for DGP and private broadcaster RMF FM.
