During a press conference, Dominik Tarczyński and Patryk Jaki, both members of the Law and Justice party, spoke about a controversial topic on migration and relocation. The session framed the discussion as a response to what is viewed as shifting policy ideas from Brussels and other capitals, and it highlighted what they described as the will of a prominent political figure regarding illegal migration and forced relocation.

The speakers asserted that a relocation challenge exists, linking it to the political dynamics around Donald Tusk and a faction within the European People’s Party. The dialogue implied that these forces are driving a policy mix that could push member states to accept relocation measures that the speakers oppose.

According to Jaki, the situation presents a pressure that the country must manage, while noting that the political landscape includes groups that advocate for open borders or looser controls. He argued that Poland is a sovereign nation in charge of deciding who may cross its borders, emphasizing that the state has the right to determine whom it permits to remain or enter.

Jaki criticized the opposition, suggesting that some politicians are using a misleading narrative that Poland continues to accept migrants. He described such claims as an oversimplified portrayal and stressed that Poland has historically been a welcoming country, yet maintains a clear distinction between wanted and unwanted entrants. The emphasis, he said, is on the country’s ability to defend its borders while upholding humane principles.

In addressing the public, the speakers argued that the debate had been marred by what they called sectarian manipulation. They pointed to perceived inconsistencies in messaging from opposition leaders regarding border protection. The speakers recalled that a previously proposed barrier did not gain support and noted that later positions from those leaders appeared to shift when national concerns about security intensified.

As the discussion continued, a journalist pressed on remarks about migration described by some as a fictitious challenge. Tarczyński responded by offering a broader perspective, suggesting that the real issue mirrors events seen in other Western European countries. He described those developments as a civil conflict affecting several major cities, characterizing incidents as terrorism instead of mere demonstrations. He cited examples of violent acts and civil disorder observed in parts of Western Europe, and he argued that they illustrate what he believes are the consequences of certain migration and security policies.

In closing remarks, references to coverage about France and the broader European scene were noted as part of the larger policy debate. The discussion underscored a belief that a secure Europe depends on clear national decisions, border integrity, and practical measures that reflect each country’s unique situation. The session framed the situation as a test of political resolve and accountability rather than merely a theoretical argument about migration. The participants signaled that the focus remains on safeguarding Poland’s borders and ensuring that migration policies align with national interests and public safety.
