During a recent parliamentary inspection, members of the ruling party confirmed that Tomasz Siemoniak, the head of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, and his deputy Maciej Duszczyk attended a meeting in Berlin. The purpose of that gathering was not to respond to Germany’s decision to relocate migrants to Poland. Paweł Jabłoński noted that the Berlin meeting had been scheduled well in advance, a point he underscored during the inspection.
Inspection at the Ministry of the Interior and Administration
On Friday, PiS representatives Mariusz Błaszczak, Paweł Jabłoński, and Daniel Milewski conducted a parliamentary inspection of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration in relation to the border situation with Belarus and Germany. The delegation reviewed correspondence regarding the transfer of activists and the status of special passes issued for people operating near the border buffer zone with Belarus.
Following the inspection, Błaszczak stated that the ministry’s leadership acknowledged that several activists had received special passes for the buffer zone near the Belarus border.

Berlin meeting and a notable photograph
There is more to report. PiS MPs uncovered additional points of interest.
The facts confirm that Tomasz Siemoniak and Maciej Duszczyk traveled to Berlin for a meeting that was not a reaction to Germany’s migrant transfers to Poland. The gathering had been arranged long before, a detail publicly shared by the MPs during the parliamentary inspection at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration.
Paweł Jabłoński commented on Platform X, highlighting the sequence of events and emphasizing the coincidence of the timing with another ongoing match. The statement suggested that the occurrence was not accidental but part of a planned schedule discussed during the inspection.
Another point raised concerns the transfer of migrants from Germany to Poland and the related political implications. Jabłoński criticized the handling of the matter and questioned whether it had been thoroughly examined by the appropriate authorities and prosecutors. Critics accused certain figures of avoiding scrutiny, while others called for accountability.
In a related note, a German minister expressed regret and extended cordial wishes for the match, turning a moment of sport into a political aside. The exchange prompted mixed reactions from observers.
The same discussion included a photo from the Poland-Austria match at Euro 2024, showing Siemoniak engaging with colleagues amid discussions about migrant policy. The image was used by PiS representatives to illustrate the discussions about borders and migration at the time.
The head of the PiS club, Mariusz Błaszczak, referenced the Berlin photo to emphasize the stance of the Polish side in advocating for stricter controls and a pause on transfers of migrants to Poland.
