Poland is set to impose temporary border checks with Germany in response to Chancellor Friedrich Merz's tougher stance on migration, which has led Germany to conduct regular border checks. Germany is now pushing back against criticism from neighboring countries. In this episode, DW’s political team discusses the political tensions between Germany and Poland over border controls, examining the motivations, risks, and implications for European unity. Joining the discussion is David McQuaid, journalist and former Bloomberg and Dow Jones Bureau Chief in Poland.
