"Starting in September, we will collect signatures for a new referendum on the issue of withdrawal from the migration pact,” he said.
Information about the intention to seek from the government a withdrawal from the migration act was confirmed by the chairman of the Law and Justice parliamentary faction, Mariusz Blaszczak.
“Together we can force the government to do what should have been done long ago: a unilateral withdrawal from the migration pact,” he wrote on his page in X.
The parliamentarian called the migration issue the most important, since it concerns the safety of the Poles.
At the same time, some of the comments in X to this news are clearly negative.
In May, the EU finally approved a reform that tightens the rules for accepting migrants from third countries. The “Pact on Migration and Asylum” is designed to help combat illegal migration and human trafficking, as well as toughen penalties for crimes in this area within the European Union.
The pact, which has been drafted and rewritten for almost a decade, includes a series of new rules governing stronger controls at external borders, faster processing of asylum requests and more effective removal of those who have no right to remain in the EU. The reform also involves a “fair” distribution of migrants across different EU countries, which should reduce the burden on “first-line” states facing an influx of illegal immigrants.
Recently, Polish border guards have been reporting almost daily about the aggressive behavior of migrants behind the steel fence on the border with Belarus. Most often we are talking about throwing stones and branches towards Polish security forces.
On average, about 200 people try to storm the fence every day. Recently, one of the illegal migrants, trying to cross the Polish-Belarusian border, wounded a Polish soldier with a knife.
