Government position on border and asylum
In a social media post, Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote that Poland firmly defends its border against illegal migration, operates its own asylum policy under which it does not accept applications, and deports people who break Polish law, zero.pl reported (Twarda zapowiedź premiera ws. migracji. „Będziemy bezwzględni” – zero.pl). The post, published on X and other platforms, also stated that Poland will not repeat the mistakes of other European states and will not pay for them.
Message to Brussels
Tusk returned from Brussels on Friday after attending an EU summit, according to zero.pl. He said he had told European leaders there that Poland will be uncompromising where security is concerned. The prime minister's statement linked the country's migration stance directly to security policy.
Context
The remarks come as Warsaw has repeatedly resisted EU-level distribution of asylum seekers. Poland has refused to accept the EU migration pact and has been exempted from relocation, according to zero.pl. The portal reported that Tusk's comments were made in a social media post on Sunday.
