Political situation in Poland
Polish visa fraud "biggest scandal of the 2000s"
A potential huge scandal has surfaced in Poland ahead of the October 15 election. Opposition leader Donald Tusk calls it "the biggest scandal in Poland in the 21st century", writes Politico.
Since 2021, up to 250,000 visas are said to have been sold to migrants, primarily from consulates in Africa and Asia. The migrants thus gained access to the EU. Others are said to have traveled to Mexico with their visas and then crossed the border into the United States.
The scandal is a growing problem for the ruling Law and Justice party, which is known for its hard-line migration policy. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki claims to have full control of the situation. Parts of the blame are placed on previous governments.
But the opposition is bleeding and Donald Tusk accuses the government of "as always" trying to distort the truth.

Biden supports the strikers: "Understands their frustration"
At midnight Friday local time, 13,000 workers at General Motors, Ford and Stellanti Jeep in Detroit walked off the job. The strikers are now supported by President Joe Biden.
- Nobody wants strikes. But I respect the right of workers to use the options they have as a collective bargaining tactic, and I understand their frustration, he said at the White House on Friday night.
