    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The 5.1 billion euros pre-financing is part of the bloc’s REPowerEU program aimed at helping the 27 EU nations recover from the energy crisis that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year, and reduce their dependance to Russian fossil fuels.

    The announcement came a month after an election in Poland secured a parliamentary majority to pro-EU parties aligned with Donald Tusk.

    He traveled to Brussels last month to meet with top officials and repair Warsaw’s ties with the bloc, aiming to unlock billions of euros in funds that have been frozen due to democratic backsliding under the outgoing nationalist government.

    “This means that no disbursement following a payment request under the (program) is possible until Poland has satisfactorily fulfilled these three ‘super milestones,’” the commission said.

    Law and Justice, however, is expected to have to hand over power soon to a bloc of pro-EU parties under the leadership of Tusk.

    Law and Justice was the biggest vote getter among the parties that ran in national election on Oct. 15, however it lost its majority in parliament and the ability to govern.
