The Polish government has formally requested to declare a state of emergency in two border regions amid increasing illegal migration from neighbouring Belarus
Poland moved on Tuesday towards declaring a state of emergency in two border regions with Belarus after hundreds of illegal migrants crossed into its territory last month.
If Duda approves, it would be the first time that Poland has declared a state of emergency on any part of its territory since the fall of communism. "We have to stop these aggressive hybrid actions, which are carried out according to a script written in Minsk and sponsored by Lukashenko." President Duda, who is an ally of the government, said he will urgently take the request into consideration, and hinted to support the request.
