      Britain should have been recalcitrant on migration like Poland than do the nonsense of Brexit

    2. Poland had always big migration from Belarus, Ukraine. After the war the migration from Ukraine sky rocket.
      This migration was always a very good excuse for Poland, to not take non europian imigrants, that majory of the country is against.

      I don’t see why Europe are responsible for these people. If they want to come here get a Visa.

      We need an European military operation in the Mediterranean to stop those boats. They are a threat for all of us.

      How about deporting them and not making them someone else’s problem?

      Poland will do this and the others will suffer even more. I dont see how this is a win, it fuels anti EU parties all across Europe. I doubt it is in Polands interest to help to blow up the EU. But yeah, it is a nice headline for the nationalist forced in Europe for a short term win, but in total Polands behavior is so dumb and stupid.

      Poland should be exempted from the Schengen area, and EU funding.

      It’s not an official opt out, but rather due to Poland being classified as a country under migratory stress due to hosting millions of Ukrainian refugees. Poland will this be declared a frontline state in need of support similar to Italy, Greece, and so on. This status will only continue until the return of Ukrainian refugees, when (or if) that happens at some point.

      The source article keeps crashing. Can someone please tell me what this requirement is that Poland is being exempted from? What are the other countries being forced to do, specifically?

      Don’t cry when southern Europe won’t spend on NATO or put soldiers next to Russia, Italy it’s quite far from cold Russia…

      Are people being wilfully ignorant about refugee law and the reasons behind it or do they just not care?

      Poland is a one of the countries with the most immigrants, it’s just that they are from Ukraine and integrate much better than others

    13. I am against such exceptions. They go against what EU is supposed to be, a place were we form consensus and take on together supranational issues. Either have everyone adhere to the policy, or scrap the policy.

      Adding more and more exceptions for single nations is not sustainable, anyways. It can only happen until some ill-faithed German or French government uses its inportance for EU budget for more and more exceptions continuously. This would destroy trust in EU all across Europe.

      Let’s say, to cite a common belief, that Germany is the reason for the entire crisis and Poland had nothing to do with it. Then this exception is “fair” for Poland, but what about any other third party member state, like Slovenia? Who gets the Polish share? Every time we choose exceptions over forming consensus it will incentivize another country to ask for the same on another issue to keep things “fair”.

      Just to be clear, my point here is not yes or no to this type of migration, I just want to see unified agreements that apply to all.

      The Polish government has announced that Poland will be exempted from the element of the European Union’s migration pact requiring countries to receive migrants relocated from other member states.

      Prime Minister Donald Tusk has celebrated the news as a success for his government. However, the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party claim that credit should go to the recently elected PiS-aligned president, Karol Nawrocki.

      The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum was adopted last year – [despite opposition from Poland](https://notesfrompoland.com/2024/02/09/poland-opposes-eu-migration-pact-but-majority-of-member-states-approve-measures/) – and will go into force over the following two years. One element is a so-called “solidarity framework” that requires other member states to help those receiving large numbers of migrants.

      They can do so by taking in a share of those migrants or by paying €20,000 for each they do not take. Poland has argued that it would be unfair if it were expected to do this because it welcomed millions of Ukrainian refugees after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, and still houses almost a million of them.

      On Saturday morning, Polish broadcaster RMF reported unofficially that the European Commission has agreed to exempt Poland from the solidarity mechanism due to its support for Ukrainian refugees. Another media outlet, Polsat News, reported the same based on its sources.

      Poland would be recognised as a country “under migratory pressure” and therefore eligible for support, rather than being expected to help others. Two years ago, that is precisely what the then European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson, [said was likely to happen](https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/06/26/eu-commissioner-polands-criticism-of-migrant-pact-incomprehensible-as-it-would-benefit-from-system/).

      RMF reported that the European Commission would next week announce which countries it wanted to define as being under migratory pressure, with that list then needing approval from the Council of the European Union, which is made up of government ministers from each member state.

      However, the Polish Press Agency (PAP) reported based on its own sources that the commission has not yet reached a final decision on how to classify Poland.

      Late on Saturday morning, Polish government spokesman Adam Szłapka appeared to confirm RMF’s report, writing on social media: “The tough and uncompromising stance of Donald Tusk’s government on the migration pact is yielding results”.

      In the afternoon, Tusk himself wrote: “I said that there would be no relocation of migrants in Poland, and there won’t be! It’s done.” Earlier this year, Tusk had warned the EU that [Poland would not comply with the migration pact](https://notesfrompoland.com/2025/02/04/tusk-poland-will-not-implement-eu-migration-pact-if-it-involves-receiving-relocated-migrants/) if it involved receiving relocated migrants.

      I suppose that southern countries that have serious problems with immigration will be just as supportive when the waves of Russian immigrants arrive.

      Eastern European countries are always criticising Southern European countries when it comes to military spending and NATO contribution.

      Meanwhile, the so called “solidarity” of EE countries when SE countries are in a crisis:

      You should only take immigrants in who are able to adapt into your culture – if it becomes an issue where the host country needs to start adapting to immigrants, that is where the conflicts start brewing.

    18. Are there upvote bots going on or something? This comment section all of a sudden turned into Twitter

    19. Abolish welfare and the immigration problem will solve itself. Those who will want to integrate and work will, those who won’t will be forced away at risk of poverty.

      I think Europe is done with this kind of free-for-all immigration in general. This is the single biggest reason for the right-wing shift we’re seeing.
