Overview

The BDM was founded on 27 March 2025 by former Independence [March (Poland)|Independence March] leader Robert Bąkiewicz. The Movement organizes citizens' patrols across Poland's borders, but proclaims that it is not an enemy of the Border Guard.
The Movement is supported mostly among the right and opposed by the incumbent liberal government. A poll by Opinia24 showed that 54% of respondents supported the Movement, with 30% deeming it decisively good and 24% a rather good initiative, with 34% being against. It was also criticized as a paramilitary.
The BDM demands restoration of border controls with Germany, leaving the EU Migration Pact, ceasing construction of immigration infrastructure and rejection of multiculturalism.
