Polish Farmers Leave EU Protests to Join Migrant Patrols on German Border
8th July 2025
Polish farmers on protest since mid-May against EU green policies have left their posts in the town of Szczecin, close to the German border, to join the growing Civic Border Defense Movement against the German federal police’s unlawful migrant dumping operations.
Despite PM Donald Tusk reinstating temporary checks on the German border earlier this week—after weeks of initially dismissing the concern as unfounded, right-wing “hysteria”—the scandal and growing diplomatic dispute have not subsided.
New footage of German police cars secretly dropping off illegal migrants on small country roads on the Polish side continues to circulate on social media, prompting Poles to remain skeptical about the liberal prime minister’s efforts to solve the crisis.
