Opinion on the admission of migrants and refugees to the territory of Poland 2021
The Belarussian-Polish border crisis has strengthened Poles' reluctance to accept migrants and refugees into the country, with nearly 55 percent of those surveyed against their admission to Poland. Most Poles were also in favor of building a wall on the Polish-Belarusian border.
In 2021, due to the actions of Alexander Lukashenko's government, a migration crisis was initiated on the border of Belarus with the European Union. The Belarusian authorities contributed by organizing the transfer of refugees and immigrants from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries of the Middle East and Africa across the Belarusian-Lithuanian and Belarusian-Polish-Latvian borders. These actions are meant to respond to EU sanctions against Belarus caused by the rigged presidential election in 2020 and the repression of oppositionists.
