A transparency campaign on EU funds has revealed controversial spending, including on swingers clubs and yachts, sparking political criticism.

The transparency campaign launched by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to show how EU funds are being used for the post-Covid recovery has sparked controversy. The interactive maps revealed funding for unusual businesses such as a swingers club and a network of vodka bars. Despite the beneficiaries' justifications, officials point out that many of these projects comply with government program rules. Political criticism has mounted, turning the transparency initiative into a boomerang for Tusk.
