The Hungarian prime minister also opposed migration in an interview with local media on Sunday. — Democracy depends on votes. Change the people, the cultural makeup, and you will change the outcome. Western Europe opened its doors to migration and now faces terror, division and loss of identity. We won't go down that road. Not here, never: it ends at our borders, he said in an interview broadcast online.
Letter from the president to the head of the European Commission
President Nawrocki wrote in a letter to the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, that Poland will not agree to actions of European institutions that would aim to relocate illegal migrants on its territory. He expressed hope that the President of the European Commission would take this fact into account in her actions.
The letter, dated October 7, was published on Thursday on social media by the head of the president's office, Paweł Głosernaker. “NO to the migration pact in Poland! The President sent a letter to the German head of the European Commission, in which he firmly demands the exclusion of our homeland from the EU project for the relocation of illegal migrants,” said Głosernaker.
What does the migration pact assume?
The Migration Pact, which is to divide responsibility for managing migration in the EU among all member states, was approved by EU ministers in May last year – with the opposition of Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.
The regulations include the so-called a mechanism of mandatory solidarity, which assumes the deployment of at least 30,000 people every year. migrants. Countries that do not want to consider their asylum applications will have to pay 20,000. euro for each unconsidered application or provide the so-called alternative solidarity measures, such as the posting of staff. The regulations also assume taking into account which countries are under migratory pressure – so that those countries that are less burdened help those that are more burdened.
