Poland Refuses EU Migration Pact
By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News
WARSAW/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Poland says it won’t implement the European Asylum and Migration Pact as the European Union member already struggles with almost two million refugees from nearby war-torn Ukraine.
The Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, informed the EU’s executive European Commission over the weekend about Warsaw’s refusal at a sensitive time: Poland currently holds the rotating EU presidency until July.
“We are ready to work with everyone to protect Europe from illegal migration, but Poland is not ready to accept additional burdens,” Tusk told a visiting Commission delegation.
“Poland is hosting almost two million refugees from Ukraine,” he added.
In the European Asylum and Migration Pact, the EU member states laid strict rules for asylum seekers’ admission, distribution, and reception.
The pact was due to enter into force in June 2026, including in Poland, the largest economy on the EU’s eastern flank.
However, there is growing opposition within Europe against the ongoing influx of asylum seekers from mainly Muslim nations.
Hungary is among other EU countries opposing Brussels’ migration policies.
