Poland reinstates border checks amid migration tensions
Poland has reintroduced temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania due to a rise in undocumented migrants, mainly from Venezuela and Colombia.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the move aims to redirect migration routes bypassing the Belarusian border and entering via Latvia and Lithuania, BBC reported.
The decision comes as several EU countries, including Germany, have tightened border checks. Warsaw argues Germany’s tougher stance has shifted the burden onto Poland.
Recent violent incidents involving foreign nationals have heightened public tension, prompting far-right groups to patrol borders. Rights groups warn such actions fuel xenophobia and call for fact-based migration policy, according to BBC.
