Poland’s ruling PiS party is reportedly considering a controversial plan to deport Ukrainian citizens in an attempt to stem a decline in its polling numbers. The proposal, devised by the party's leadership and campaign team, aims to limit potential voter support for the far-right Konfederacja and Grzegorz Braun’s Korona Polska parties. This strategy is based on research suggesting significant public backing for such a move. Education Minister Przemysław Czarnek is a key advocate for the deportation plan. Critics view the proposal as a cynical manipulation of the refugee crisis for political gain. The move highlights growing concerns within PiS about losing ground to more conservative rivals ahead of upcoming elections. The idea underscores a hardening stance on immigration and a focus on appealing to nationalist sentiments.
