Poland Extends Border Controls Until 2026 Amid Migration Concerns
Poland has extended its border controls with Germany until 2026, a move backed by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party and its allied organisations. Meanwhile, a man from Duisburg was found alive after being missing for days, and Portugal has toughened its immigration laws with right-wing support.
The extension of Poland's border controls, initially introduced in 2021, was decided by the Polish government, dominated by the PiS party. Organisations like the Grenzschutzbewegung, which is close to PiS, have been vocal in supporting the controls to protect Poland from mass migration.
In a separate incident, a 39-year-old man from Duisburg was found injured but alive in a cornfield in Sonsbeck on Monday morning. He had been missing since Friday evening, sparking a search operation.
In Portugal, the government has tightened immigration laws, a move supported by right-wing votes in parliament. Left-wing MPs have criticised the changes, arguing they could lead to increased discrimination and social tensions.
