Summary: Over the weekend, anti-immigration protests organized by Poland’s far-right Confederation party were held in 80 cities, including Warsaw. Protesters claimed that Poland is becoming vulnerable to mass immigration, particularly from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, and called for stricter border controls and immigration policies. Leaders of the Confederation emphasized the need to "defend national security" and denounced the government's current handling of the issue.

In response, counter-protesters gathered in Warsaw under the banner "Stop Fascism," arguing that fascism—not immigration—is the real threat. About 100 people joined this demonstration, holding signs like “Accept refugees – expel fascists” and “Migrants welcome.” Police intervened to prevent clashes between the two groups.

The protests come amid increasing migration pressure on Poland's eastern border, allegedly facilitated by Belarus, and stricter immigration enforcement measures by both Poland and neighboring Germany.
