Poland: Cash For Visa Scandal Erupts

POLAND – The speaker of Poland’s upper house of parliament calling on the Polish government to come clean regarding what it knew about an escalating cash for visas scandal that could derail a re-election campaign centered around the issue of migration.

The ruling nationalist Law and Justice party has put accusations that the opposition is soft on illegal migration at the heart of their campaign to win a third term in office.

The government now faces opposition accusations that it was complicit in a system in which migrants received visas at an accelerated pace without proper checks after paying intermediaries.
