Poland's Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, plans to hold a referendum alongside parliamentary elections in October, asking Voters if they are willing to accept "thousands of Illegal Immigrants from the Middle East and Africa." The ruling Law and Justice Party, which has long defended restriction on immigration, aims to use migration as a topic of campaigning. The referendum question was revealed in a video featuring scenes of violence and a Black man licking a knife. Poland currently hosts over a million Ukrainian refugees but some officials view Muslims and others from different cultures as a threat to cultural identity and security.
