Two days before the European Council summit, the Polish government adopted a migration strategy for 2025-2030 under the slogan "Regain Control, Ensure Security," which stipulates that in the event of a threat to state stability due to an influx of immigrants, temporary and territorial suspension of the right to accept asylum applications should be possible.
The Polish government's plans have faced criticism not only domestically but also abroad and from representatives of international organizations such as Amnesty International, as reported by Radio Poland.
Tusk announced that he would "demand recognition in Europe" for his decision, according to the Polish state news agency PAP.
"I have just had meetings with all the key players. What I wanted to achieve on this issue has been accomplished, primarily understanding," Prime Minister Tusk conveyed in a recording shared by the Prime Minister's Chancellery.
"It's not about suspending the right to asylum, but about temporarily and territorially suspending the acceptance of applications where the border is illegally and forcefully crossed, namely at the Belarusian border. Everyone understands this here," the head of the Polish government emphasized.
According to Donald Tusk, no one in the European Union has a problem recognizing Poland's right to temporarily suspend the right to asylum. He believes that the situation related to human trafficking by hostile regimes is well understood on the international stage.
PM Tusk feels that his discussions with EU leaders have gone more smoothly than he could have expected.
