Poland plans to suspend refugees’ right to asylum - Prime Minister Tusk

Poland plans to suspend the right of asylum for refugees. We are talking about those who come to Poland from Belarus.

It was reported by the Politico portal.

According to Politico, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced such plans while speaking at a meeting of the ruling Civic Coalition party. Such a restriction will be part of Poland's new migration strategy.

"I will demand this. I will demand recognition of this decision in Europe," he emphasized.

Tusk explained his decision by the fact that Belarus and russia are actively abusing EU asylum rights. In particular, in recent years they have been using migrants as a tool in a hybrid war against the West.

In September, Poland recorded 2,500 migrants from the Middle East and Africa who tried to cross the border from Belarus, and for the year there were more than 26,000 of them. At the same time, Belarusian security forces actively help migrants cross the border to illegally enter Poland.
