Prosecutors are investigating former intelligence heads accused of acting with the prime minister’s approval during Tusk’s tenure in that job

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS), has brought prosecutors under the conservative government’s control.

The other 27 EU governments supported a second term for Tusk
