Poland wants to suspend asylum to combat illegal migration. The Polish prime minister said he hopes the EU will recognize the decision.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a congress of his Civic Platform party in Warsaw on October 12, according to Bloomberg, that Poland plans to temporarily suspend asylum rights. They want to do this in order to reduce illegal migration.

What Tusk said about the denial of asylum

One of the elements of the strategy will be the temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum, and I will call for the recognition of this decision in Europe, said Donald Tusk.

He explained that the asylum system is used by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin and smugglers, people smugglers, and human traffickers as a right to asylum, contrary to the essence of the right to asylum.

At the same time, the head of the Prime Minister's Office, Jan Grabiec, clarified that The temporary suspension will only apply to illegal attempts to cross the border from Belarus. At the same time, it will not affect Ukrainian refugees who are fleeing to Poland.

The Polish prime minister said that Warsaw will strengthen the borders for undocumented entry into the country, despite potential disapproval of this decision from the European Union. Donald Tusk promised to provide more detailed information next week.

We will not respect and implement any EU ideas if we are sure that they harm our security, Donald Tusk assured.

He added that illegal migration in Poland will be reduced to a minimum, practices that de facto bypassed Polish interests, violated the security of Polish women and Poles, as well as the Polish state will be eradicated.
