The forced relocation mechanism poses a threat to Poland’s security, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stressed on Wednesday. “All political forces must take a clear position on this issue. Therefore, I invite all parliamentary clubs and circles to the talks,” he added.
I believe that Poland unites us, that we can speak with one voice in Europe. The forced relocation mechanism poses a threat to Poland’s security. Yesterday, Commissioner Ylva Johansson spoke about the resulting financial sanctions
wrote the prime minister on Twitter on Wednesday.
The effective actions of Law and Justice protected us from the Paris events in Warsaw. All political forces must take a clear stand on this. That is why I invite all parliamentary clubs and circles to the conversation. Poland is our treasure that we must protect
added the head of government.
Will the opposition come to the meeting?
A government spokesman said the meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 11am.
The forced relocation mechanism set up by the EU institutions is accompanied by financial sanctions for countries that do not agree to its implementation. Yesterday @YlvaJohansson spoke directly about it.
That is why we want all political forces to clearly oppose this mechanism. A meeting with parliamentary clubs and circles is scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m
said a government spokesman.
“Mandatory Solidarity”
EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson visited the Italian island of Lampedusa on Tuesday, calling it a “great success” at a press conference – referring to the recent EU summit in Brussels – that only two countries, Poland and Hungary , oppose the proposals submitted on the relocation of migrants.
The proposal provides for relocation, but is not mandatory. What is mandatory is solidarity
she said, quoted by Ansa. At the same time she clarified: Solidarity has been made mandatory by law. It therefore gives the Commission a new tool. If a country does not relocate, it must pay, not only to countries under pressure, but also to third countries.
We have learned that anything based on voluntariness is difficult to achieve, but it is a long and safe process
said Johansson.
