The Confederation warns again about the so-called migration pact. – The ‘take or pay’ principle has nothing to do with solidarity, says Krzysztof Bosak.
The European Parliament and the European Council (Spanish Presidency) have agreed on the final form of five separate EU regulations setting out how migration and asylum policy ‘tasks’ should be divided among the Member States.
Bosak: Coercion is not solidarity
The Confederation has consistently opposed Brussels’ imposition of policies on Poland in this area. On Thursday, representatives of the group organized another press conference, in which they warned of the consequences of allowing new waves of foreigners from Africa and Asia to Europe.
Krzysztof Bosak pointed out that the package sets a minimum threshold of the number of immigrants admitted to the EU (30,000 per year), but there is no maximum threshold. Poland is expected to receive at least 2,000. immigrants every year, and if he doesn’t agree, he will have to pay 40 million euros. Bosak emphasized that this is the result of established EU policies, recalling that President Von der Leyen, supported by the PiS government, announced the above-mentioned regulations in 2020.
One of the leaders of the Confederation recalled that the principle of “take or pay” has nothing to do with solidarity, adding that solidarity is a situation in which someone wants to help someone voluntarily, and not by force. – What the European Union introduces in this regulation is Eurocentralism, central management of migration on a continental scale. We do not agree with this and we believe that it is no coincidence that the Swedish socialist Mrs. Johansson happily announced success in this matter, Bosak said, assuring that the Confederation will not give up on this matter and will look for ways to implement the said orders to block. .

The Confederation’s migration policy package
In July, the Confederation presented a twelve-point package for a responsible migration policy. The first provides for the abolition of benefits for immigrants, the second for the return of refugees as soon as possible, and the third for limiting the inflow of immigrants.
Another point is based on integration and assimilation pressure, that is, the introduction of the obligation to master the Polish language within two years as a condition for extending the right of residence.
Migration pact
The so-called The Migration Pact provides for mandatory ‘solidarity’ with EU countries that experience ‘migration pressure’. In such a situation, the remaining Member States have the choice between relocating asylum seekers to their territory or paying compensation. The document also defines new criteria according to which a Member State is responsible for examining applications for international protection (former Dublin rules).
