EU Migration Deal – Polish lawmakers passed a resolution against the European Union’s proposal to relocate refugees and asylum seekers inside the Union, according to local media.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stated that maintaining the safety of the nation is their first concern, thus they would continue to oppose the idea during a debate on the resolution in the parliament.
He referred to the policies made by the EU, particularly Germany, between 2014 and 2016 that caused millions of migrants to enter Europe as a “fatal mistake” and said that they had rendered many European towns insecure.
It is a diktat that seeks to culturally transform Europe, not a migratory treaty, according to Morawiecki.
Not the Bundestag, the Sejm is the Polish parliament, and we have every right and duty to vote in Poland’s best interests.
According to the proposed migration plan, EU nations would be subject to “compulsory solidarity” under the bloc’s immigration policy while still having freedom “in terms of choosing individual contributions”.
As a result, the EU would pledge to at least 30,000 relocations annually, “from member states where most people enter the EU to member states less exposed to such arrivals,” according to officials.
The deal also contains a clause that stipulates that EU nations who refuse to accept migrants must contribute €20,000 ($21,893) per person to a fund overseen by Brussels.
“As Poles, we understand what empathy and solidarity are. No one, and certainly not the Germans, will teach us the value of solidarity, stated Morawiecki.
“We do not take any money for unauthorized migrants or illegal immigration. We won’t sign off on this agreement.
