Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced plans to temporarily suspend certain asylum rights in a bid to reduce illegal immigration. In Warsaw, during a ‘Civic Platform Party’ convention yesterday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasised the need for European recognition of Poland’s decision, explaining that the right to asylum is being exploited by hostile nations and human traffickers. He said our state must regain full control over who enters the country, assuring that the government would minimise illegal migration. As per the media reports, Tusk also stressed that Poland would not adopt any EU policies that jeopardise its security. He further emphasised the importance of integration for those wishing to stay in Poland long-term, citing Germany’s past failure to prioritise this in its migration policy.
