WARSAW — Poland temporarily reintroduced border controls with Germany and Lithuania at midnight Sunday, saying they are needed to control 'illegal immigration'.The issue was central to June's presidential election where nationalist Karol Nawrocki -- who ran on a slogan of ' Poland first, Poles first' -- narrowly defeated the candidate backed by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.The Tusk government is now seeking to outflank its rivals by taking a tough approach to immigration.
Germany reintroduced temporary checks on the border with Poland in November 2023.Warsaw last month began to accuse Berlin of sending irregular migrants arriving from Poland back across the border.'The German side is now actually refusing to authorise the entry of migrants heading to Germany to request asylum or obtain another type of status,' Tusk said Tuesday.The controls on Lithuania's border were introduced to stop migrants coming in from Belarus, according to Poland.
