Policy History Law In early 2018, both chambers of the Polish parliament (the Sejm and Senate) adopted an Amendment to the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance criminalising the ascription to Poles collectively of complicity in World War II Jewish-genocide-related or other war crimes or crimes against humanity that had been committed by the Axis powers, and condemning use of the expression, "Polish death camp". Israel and Poland try to tamp down tensions after Poland's 'death camp' law sparks Israeli outrage, Washington Post, 28 January 2018Israel and Poland clash over proposed Holocaust law, Reuters, 28 January 2018The Controversy Around Poland's Proposed Ban on the Term "Polish Death Camps", Smithsonian.com, 29 January 2018 The law sparked a crisis in Israel–Poland relations.
Social In March 2018 a new Polish law took effect, banning nearly all commerce on Sundays, with supermarkets and most other retailers closed Sundays for the first time since liberal shopping laws were introduced in the 1990s. The law had been passed by the Law and Justice party with Morawiecki's support. The Bill had the support of Solidarity which In 2017, backed a proposal to implement blue laws to prohibit Sunday shopping, a move supported by Polish bishops.
