European Council unanimous on migration18.10.2024At the October European Council summit in Brussels, Prime Minister Donald Tusk presented the Polish perspective on migration. In the face of growing challenges on the EU’s eastern border, leaders expressed solidarity with Poland. The European Council unanimously adopted conclusions on migration, which state that no country, including Russia and Belarus, may abuse values such as the right to asylum. Poland is to make “autonomous decisions.”
European solidarity with Poland
EU leaders, regardless of their political views, expressed solidarity with Poland, which faces serious migration challenges. The actions of Russia and Belarus aim to use migration as a tool to destabilize the situation on our eastern border.
The key words are those that have been written down – Russia, Belarus or any other country cannot abuse our values, including the right to asylum, or undermine our democracy.
– said the Prime Minister during a press conference in Brussels.
Politicians from various countries expressed their understanding of Poland’s situation related to aggressive, illegal migration on its eastern border and the need to implement effective methods in response to these challenges.
Understanding the challenges of migration
European leaders have recognized that the current migration pact is not an adequate response to the growing threat of mass, illegal migration – especially that organized by foreign governments. The migration summit emphasized that traditional methods do not bring the expected results.
It is becoming increasingly clear to European leaders that the methods used so far, including the migration pact, are not the answer to the threat posed by mass, illegal migration.
– noted Donald Tusk.
The discussions also highlighted the need to introduce tougher solutions that respond to changing circumstances, because “the statistics and numbers are overwhelming.” It was emphasized that Europe does not have the capacity to accept all those who want to apply for asylum. Para expandirse, that a new approach to migration policy in the European Union must be created.
Para, as I said a few days ago in Warsaw, that at least a profound correction of this paradigm is needed when it comes to migration policy in Europe. We need to change the attitude based so far on the principle that found its expression in the Geneva Convention
– said the head of the Polish government.
During the Brussels summit there was clear agreement on reforming migration policy.
Poland’s autonomous decisions
The European Council also emphasised Poland’s right to make autonomous decisions on migration matters.
For me it is important that everyone agreed that Poland will make decisions autonomously and that they will be accepted
– noted Donald Tusk.
In the face of the migration crisis, the possibilities of cooperation with other Member States were highlighted. European institutions and other countries show great openness to various forms of assistance.
