Ultrnationalist Xenophobia on the Rise as Refugee Crisis Intensifies in Central Europe

The refugee crisis in Europe is worsening as ultranationalist groups gain strength in central European countries. Poland and the EU criticize Belarus and Russia for intentionally flooding migrants into Belarusian territory, causing a “hybrid war.” The Polish-Belarusian border guards are responding to the influx of migrants from the Middle East. Poland’s government has seen a significant increase in migrant numbers, leading to a crisis. In response, they plan to reinforce the border with new barriers to prevent further crossings.
