Patryk Jaki, a Member of the European Parliament, shared on social media a proposal from the European People’s Party that includes the Civic Platform and the Polish People’s Party. He stressed that the plan requires urgent action to approve a migration pact. He cited a statement from a Swedish leader about deploying the army to the streets due to the scale of migrant challenges, and he claimed that the party led by Tusk and Kosiniak in the European Parliament had filed a motion to rapidly approve a migration pact with the relocation of migrants to Poland.
OP and PSL back the swift adoption of the migration pact
According to the MEP, the EPP coalition, which includes PO and PSL, has requested the urgent adoption of the Migration Pact. He explained what such a move would entail in practical terms.
He warned that annually the European Commission could, through its instruments, relocate several million migrants to member states, including those arriving from places like Lampedusa. He described the situation in stark terms, portraying migrants as illegal arrivals and suggesting that a strong response was necessary to prevent perceived harm to Poland. He claimed this would risk turning Poland, which he described as safe, into a setting resembling dangerous depictions from some cinema examples.
Jaki asserted in a social media recording that the Polish opposition in the European Parliament supported these measures. He argued that European officials had allowed large migrant flows into Europe without proper checks and that large groups had caused disturbances in several cities. He pointed to Sweden as an example and suggested that similar pressure was being directed at Poland.
– he observed.
Opposition statements about visas labeled as misinformation
Jaki highlighted comments by opposition politicians regarding hundreds of thousands of illegal visas, describing such assertions as false. He claimed that the Polish state had identified hundreds of bogus cases and effectively halted the practice, noting that these developments should be acknowledged. He criticized a sector he described as a reform-minded bloc that had previously supported different policies and argued that political calculations were at play in the EU bureaucracy, which he claimed favored those who would comply with EU directives rather than stand with the Polish government.
He argued that the policy would lead to lower wages and higher unemployment if implemented, drawing on past experiences during earlier government terms. He suggested that a certain faction risks repeating those outcomes if they gain power again, and he asked whether Poland would accept those conditions once more.
In his view, opposition charts purporting to show the number of illegal migrants entering Poland were misleading. He claimed that the figures reflected work permit data, which is only the initial verification stage, with many later leaving the formal process unnoticed by residents. He suggested that left-leaning outlets had themselves exposed some of the inaccuracies in migration policy narratives. The broader claim presented was that Poland remains among the safer countries in the European Union, even as leaders from the opposition pushed for a migration pact that Jaki described as a threat to the country. He pressed that such a pact should not be endorsed.
