Poland's government, which has raised eyebrows around the globe for its hard political turn to the right, is reportedly seeking the counsel of an international PR firm.

PolandThe Financial Times said Warsaw has approached, through intermediaries, "a number of public relations companies based in London for global crisis communications services." Some firms have submitted proposals, according to the report.

Polish voters elected a right-wind government last fall that has made a series of controversial moves, including stacking courts and pardoning a former official found guilty of corruption. The rightward shift led by the country's Law and Justice party has raised concern among European allies and the United States.

The FT noted the government's tendencies have "spooked investors and caused consternation across Europe."
