Poland’s Border Guard has deported 27 Georgian nationals deemed a threat to public safety, according to an announcement on Friday, July 18. The deportations, carried out on Tuesday, July 15, involved individuals with a range of criminal records—including one person with 12 prior convictions for theft.
In a separate action, 13 Moldovan nationals were also expelled. Offences among both groups included drunk driving, overstaying expired Polish visas, document tampering, and assisting others in entering the country illegally.
In June 2025, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk held a press conference praising the deportation of 50 Georgians accused of criminal activity. He framed the move as a political win tied to his broader effort to pressure the European Union into taking action against Georgia, following the election victory of the national-conservative Georgian Dream party.
