The situation on the border between Poland and Belarus continues to deteriorate: in September 2021, nearly 9,000 people tried to reach the European Union illegally through Poland. That's twice as many as in August. And revealing the truth of the situation is difficult, as journalists and NGOs are forbidden from the area. ARTE reporter Ulrike Däßler and her team was detained by police in the course of making this report, for no reason other than trying to do their jobs.

Tens of thousands of people demonstrated on October 10th in Poland to reaffirm their attachment to the European Union, seventeen years after their country's accession.

The pro-Europeans fear that their country is in danger of leaving the EU.

The Polish Protesters Who Choose Europe

Constitutional judges are set to decide whether or not Poland will bend to European law, as all Member States are required to do, or follow its own national laws first and foremost instead. The legal equivalent of a Polexit would be a blow to many human rights activists in the country. The ruling would place Poland in opposition to many key European values, such as press freedom, and refugee rights.
