Britain should have been recalcitrant on migration like Poland than do the nonsense of Brexit
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.
Poland again being common sense about the issue.
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?
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.
once again, based poland
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
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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.
Just gonna lay it out for all of you Western Europeans because apparently you’re silly. Not all cultures are equal and assimilate. I dont want a shit ton of syrians in poland. I want the ones than can be assimilated into our culture and country. I dont want demands for sharia law. I want immigrants who appreciate that this country has given them a better life. Nothing to do woth skin color im an immigrant to poland myself. Speak the language and am totally in assimilated into polish culture. Everything amd everybody who doesnt can fuck off.
That “solidarity framework” is only one part of the new migration and asylym pact though. It has different mechanisms, to either contribute financially, by relocating refugees, or operationally. Finland for example chose to contribute financially according to current government, so not taking relocated refugees through it.
The pact also includes toughening external borders and frontex, creating an EU wide “Eurodac” database that identifies and keeps track of all asylym seekers and migrants, increasing cooperation with source/north african countries’ own border guards, and a creation of “fast-track” procedures intented to make asylum desicion and deportation faster, etc. So important stuff. Making immigration policy tougher than it is.
So solidarity framework is only one part of it, and yes, maybe the most controversial in some countries. It kind of seems that people only talk about it. I understand that, but it might give the wrong image about the overall pact, because in many ways it will toughen immigration policy.
It’s quite natural that Poland is excempted from the solidarity framework – Poland has lots of Ukrainian migrants. And the whole idea of the solidarity framework is to help countries who face migratory pressure. Commission said that already in 2023.
It seem that some commenters spin the whole new migration pact about some “forced relocation of migrants”, or something, and this is not really true. There’s no forced relocation of anyone, because countries can also participate other ways if they wish. And that pact has many parts that will toughen immigration policy and speed up deportations for those whose asylym application is refused.
The people from the British and Irish Isles agree. NO more Migrants!
Everyone on reddit hates on Poland but I visited Wroclaw recently and it seemed like a utopia basically
When Hungary said this and built a wall they were called racists and bigots
I wish the capital of the EU would be moved from Brussels to Warsaw.
Poland should be the leader country in the EU…
Glad for them, good job poland
I don’t get what an economic relationship has to do with moving a bunch of undocumented foreigners to your country
Respect
I just can not understand why wouldn’t they want to be enriched and saved from themselves, by the millions of young engineers and scientists coming in from third world countries as it is currently happening in western Europe!
‘We’ve got some extra migrants and we want you to take them.’
‘No.’
‘Then give us 20,000 euros for each one.’
It sounds like an extortion racket. Glad Poland told them to sod off. Why should they pay for other countries who can’t be bothered to manage their borders?
Well done Poland!
Good. All of europe should be exempt
Seems uk gets all the scummy ones cause they hate us after Brexit….. 100%.
Nice. Poland need not pay for what a basketcase western Europe has become due to that that bitch, Merkel.

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.
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.
