“I said that there will be no relocation of migrants in Poland and there will be no! It's done. That we will seal the barrier on the border with Belarus – and today it is the best-guarded border in Europe. That we will tighten visa and asylum regulations – and Poland has become a model for others. We do, we don't talk!” – the head of government announced on the X platform.
Poland is to be excluded from the migration pact, RMF FM reported unofficially on Saturday morning. The European Commission is to relieve the relocation of migrants and the financial burden of refugees whom Poland accepted after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
What is the Migration Pact?
The so-called The Migration Pact, which is to share 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.
