See also: Fall of Kabul (2021) § Aftermath, European migrant crisis, and 2021 Belarus–European Union border crisis

On 31 August 2021 the Council of Ministers requested President Andrzej Duda to declare a state of emergency in the terrain surrounding Belarus–Poland border. The request was motivated by - according to government - possible threats to security and public order in part of the territory of Poland.[2]

On 2 September 2021, President Andrzej Duda agreed to declare a state of emergency in the area indicated in the request.[3] On the same day, the regulation was published in the Dziennik Ustaw and thus became effective.[4] Journalists,[5] humanitarian workers, healthcare workers and activists which waited 21 days to get access to the refugees camping in Usnarz Górny were given until the end of 2 September to move out of the areas under the state of emergency.

Reactions

Representatives of Fundacja Ocalenie who have been at the border in Usnarz Górny since August 2021 openly opposed and criticized the declaration of the state of emergency.[1] According to their spokesperson, the state was only declared for political benefit and allowed the state forces to act without supervision. Several members of the opposition also raised similar concerns. Donald Tusk, former Prime Minister of Poland stated that the state of emergency is used by the Law and Justice as a smoke screen to cover governments incompetence.[1][6]
