Sovereign Poland stands firmly against forcing migrants to move. Zbigniew Ziobro, who leads the Ministry of Justice and chairs Sovereign Poland, announced a plan to submit a draft resolution to the Sejm that rejects such EU-driven relocation ideas on behalf of the party and its allies.
Resistance to a forced relationship. A draft decision is forthcoming
During a Saturday gathering in Płock, the leadership of Sovereign Poland reiterated its stance: no backing for coerced displacement of migrants. The message from Ziobro underscored that Poland will not contribute to large payments tied to migration policy mistakes made by wealthier EU states.
He argued that Sweden, currently presiding over the EU, has proposed mechanisms to move migrants from richer to poorer member countries, inviting newcomers in recent years and creating a burden now hard to manage for those nations. Ziobro added that Sovereign Poland intends to push a Sejm resolution that offers a clear and united front against these European-level ideas, capturing opposition across political lines. The move signals a broader effort to keep migration policy within national control rather than allowing external actors to dictate terms.
Deputy Climate Minister Jacek Dekora, the spokesman for Sovereign Poland, indicated that the resolution would be presented to the Sejm on Monday. He emphasized that the text should urge all political groups and European institutions to withdraw from forced relocation schemes, aligning with Poland’s constitutional and social considerations.
Migration Pact. Relocation or punishment
Interior ministers convened in Luxembourg and laid out a negotiating stance on EU migration reform after hours of talks. Poland and Hungary opposed support for what is referred to as the migration pact. The stance forged in Luxembourg will guide discussions between the Council Presidency and the European Parliament as negotiations proceed.
The pact centers on a framework of compulsory solidarity. It states that no single member state would be obliged to relocate migrants, yet it sets an annual minimum relocation quota from countries hosting the most arrivals to those less exposed. The initial figure was set at 30,000 relocations per year, with a minimum financial contribution of 20,000 euros per relocated person. The numbers could be adjusted based on yearly needs and the perceived willingness of member states to participate. A high-level EU diplomat explained that the arrangement presents a choice between relocating people and providing monetary support when redistribution is not feasible for a given year.
