The Polish government will pass a law to suspend the issuance of asylum to migrants.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Poland on Wednesday will adopt a law allowing the suspension of asylum to illegal migrants, Prime Minister of the Republic Donald Tusk said.

Earlier, at the instigation of Tusk, the Polish government adopted a new migration strategy, which provides for the possibility of suspending the acceptance of applications for asylum to foreigners in the event of a threat of destabilization due to the influx of migrants.

“We are regaining control of the Polish borders! Today the government will adopt new rules regarding visas and asylum requests. The right to asylum will no longer be used to illegally cross the Polish border,” Tusk wrote on the X platform.

⠀

At the same time, he expressed hope that Polish President Andrzej Duda will sign this law, although he is in opposition along with the Law and Justice party, which he represents.

Earlier, European Commission representative Anitta Hipper said that EU countries must protect the external borders of the community, but they also have obligations to provide access to the procedure for obtaining refugee status to arriving foreigners.
