WARSAW (Reuters) - The Polish president has signed into law the country's budget for 2017, a budget that opposition lawmakers say was passed illegally.

Legislators from the opposition Civic Platform (PO) and Nowoczesna parties said the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party passed the 2017 budget last month without the necessary number of lawmakers present.
