Recent studies about refugees have shown that there are differences in how refugees
are framed, depending on where they are fleeing from. Studies have also shown that
right-wing populism and refugee framing can be linked. With the theoretical framework
of Banulescu-Bogdans three frames and right-wing populism, this study examines how
polish politicians within the PiS party have framed refugees fleeing in 2015 in contrast
to refugees fleeing in 2022.The aim is also to analyze how and if right-wing populist
discourses are reflected in the frames.
Using framing analysis, nine statements from different PiS-politicians were analyzed.
The results show that the dominating frame towards refugees during 2015 was the
threat-frame, contributing to frame the refugees as a cultural threat and security threat.
The dominating frame used towards refugees 2022 was the victim-frame, contributing
to frame the refugees as deserving and worthy of help. Furthermore, right-wing populist
discourses were clearly existing in the framing of refugees in 2015. Discourses as ??us??
and ?? the other?? along with signs of nativism are reflected in the frames. In comparison
to the ukrainian refugees, the populist discourses are not visible.
