Yesterday Jihad Watch reported
on the tough stand taken by Poland and Hungary, as the EU gangs up on
them to accept migrant quotas or face being kicked out of the EU.Kudos to Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo for protecting her country’s citizens from jihadist threats, Muslim migrant crime and economic disaster, in sharp contrast to Angela Merkel and other European leaders.
Poland blasts EU for migrant crisis quotas: ‘We will resist blackmail and pressure’, by Sebastian Kettley, Express, April 5, 2017:
Ms Szydło’s declaration follows threats from Brussels to boot Poland and Hungary out of the EU – two nations which have failed to house any of the160,000 migrants.
The Prime Minster told a press conference today her country will continue with a “prudent and reasonable migrant policy”.
She said: “The Polish government under my leadership, from the moment we took responsibility for Poland, said it will not accept this resolution as we consider it bad for Europe.
“The European Union made a fatal mistake under pressure from lobbyists but also under a lot of pressure from Germany – it accepted resolutions which turned out not only to be ineffective but also did not solve the migrant problem.”
Ms Szydło added that failing to adequately deal with the migrant crisis has led to only 27 members remaining within the EU – alluding strongly to Brexit.
On Tuesday a source said Poland and Hungary’s anti-migrant stance threatened their position within the bloc.
The source said: “They will have to make a choice: are they in the European system or not? You cannot blackmail the EU, unity has a price.”
By the end of the year the European Court of Justice will scrutinise the legality of migrant quotas – but is expected to rule in their favour.
Brussels has ruled Poland has to accept 6,200 migrants into the country by 2017 which the country has so far failed to do so.
The source added: “We are confident that the ECJ will confirm validation, then they [Poland and Hungary] must abide by the decision.
“If they don’t then they will face consequences, both financial and political.
The Polish Prime Minister made it clear in her message that no member state has met the quotas which in her opinion were damaging to the EU.
She said: “Someone is still trying to break the unity of the European Union and is trying to force pressure in order to continue wrongful migrant policies.”…..
