Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk characterizes his country as under threat due to migration orchestrated by Belarus and Russia, exacerbating tensions connected to the war in Ukraine. This situation began in 2021, leading to a spike in border crossings as migrants from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa were directed to Poland. Tusk is pushing for changes in asylum law, seeking to temporarily suspend the right to claim asylum to address the crisis, which has drawn widespread criticism regarding human rights violations at the border.
"We are dealing with a new form of migration where authoritarian regimes are organizing human smuggling on a large scale," Tusk emphasized, illustrating the complexity of the crisis.
The situation began in 2021 when there was a surge in attempted crossings at the Polish-Belarusian border, highlighting the geopolitical ramifications of this migration.
