“Stop Immigration” – Confederation Plans Nationwide Protests on July 19

The Confederation Liberty and Independence party has announced a series of protests under the slogan “Stop Immigration”, to be held on July 19, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. in numerous cities across Poland. The campaign is aimed at expressing opposition to both illegal and legal immigration, particularly – according to organizers – against migrants from Africa and Muslim countries being brought into Poland from Germany.

Purpose of the Protests

According to organizers, including Deputy Speaker of the Sejm Michał Wawer, the protests are a response to what they call “rising immigration” across both Poland’s eastern and western borders and what they claim is an increase in public safety threats – from criminal incidents to potential acts of terrorism. The Confederation accuses German authorities of “dumping migrants” into Poland and blames Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government for accepting foreigners without proper vetting.

Scale and Locations

As reported by Polsat News, several hundred simultaneous protests are planned throughout the country – ranging from large urban centers to smaller towns. Local demonstrations have already been announced in cities such as Siedlce, Ostrołęka, Tomaszów Mazowiecki, Pszczyna, and Bielsko-Biała. For example, a rally is scheduled in front of the regional governor’s office in Ostrołęka at 12:00 p.m.

Government Context and Response

The protests coincide with the government’s decision to reintroduce border controls on the frontiers with Germany and Lithuania – effective from July 6 through August 5 – citing security concerns due to the rising number of migrants. The Confederation views this as confirmation that the government’s current efforts are insufficient and argues that “citizen support” is needed to secure the borders.

Campaign Rhetoric

On social media and in its official materials, the Confederation uses slogans such as “REFUGEES NOT WELCOME!” and “We Want to Live Safely”, warning that Poland could “share the fate of Western Europe.” This continues the party’s long-standing narrative, including previous protests against the construction of Immigrant Integration Centers in the Podlasie region.

What’s Next?

In the coming days, public perception of the protests may be shaped by ongoing media reports about criminal incidents involving foreigners – including a recent high-profile fatal assault in Toruń, frequently cited by the Confederation in its messaging. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Tusk’s administration insists that border control measures aim to responsibly implement the EU’s upcoming Migration Pact, set to take effect in 2026.


Summary: On July 19 at 12:00 p.m., nationwide demonstrations under the banner “Stop Immigration” will be held across Poland, organized by the Confederation party. The movement claims to defend national security in response to alleged threats from both illegal and legal immigration, and criticizes both Germany and the Polish government for their handling of migrant policies.
