    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) is known for its tough stance on immigration and is running on an anti-immigration platform ahead of national elections on 15 October.

    Law and Justice is seeking an unprecedented third term in office and while the party is currently leading in polls, it is unclear if they can win the outright majority they need to govern in next month’s parliamentary elections.

    Poland last year completed a 187km (116-mile) steel barrier along its border with Belarus and deployed thousands of soldiers to stop migrants from crossing into its territory.

    Poland has also been a staunch critic of EU plans to send migrants from Mediterranean countries that see the highest number of arrivals to other member states.

    Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said on Tuesday that relocating migrants was “essentially an incentive for the human trafficking industry”.

    Widely praised by critics, Green Border has been accused by the government of distorting Poland’s image and harming the honour of Poles who defend their country.

      note: this tldr misses important info, for example the first 2 paragraphs:

      The European Union has asked Poland to clear up allegations of widespread visa fraud that have engulfed the country’s governing party.

      Polish media had reported that migrants paid up to $5,000 (£4,000) to Polish consulates and private companies to speed up visa applications.

        The Polish government has admitted that hundreds of visas were issued illegally but has disputed claims by the opposition that the number was much higher.

        was the core issue that the tldr also missed.
