"Exploiting Anti-Migrant Sentiment: Polish Politicians' Electoral Strategy"

Both the ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party and the centrist opposition led by former European Council President Donald Tusk are using anti-migrant rhetoric to gain electoral support ahead of Poland's parliamentary election. PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński has called for a referendum on EU migrant relocation, while Tusk accuses PiS of wanting to open the door to mass migration from Muslim countries. Tusk's videos criticizing PiS's migration strategy have caused disarray within the ruling party. Poland's demographic changes and increasing diversity have fueled the migration debate, as the country faces a declining population but a need for workers to sustain its robust economy.
