Migrants from Belarus
Polish government restricts right to asylum
The Polish government has passed a bill to temporarily restrict the right to asylum. The reason given is the influx of migrants from neighboring Belarus. Poland wants to "regain control of the borders" with this measure.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The draft law from Donald Tusk's government stipulates that the right to apply for asylum in Poland can be restricted for a maximum period of 60 days. The government would have to specify which section of the border this should apply to. With the approval of parliament, the regulation could be extended by a further 60 days.
The EU accuses Russia and its ally Belarus of deliberately exposing migrants at the borders of Northern and Eastern Europe as part of "hybrid" attacks. A week ago, the EU Commission declared that member states bordering Russia and Belarus could restrict the right to asylum if Moscow and Minsk used migrants as a "weapon".
Poland in particular had demanded that Brussels take action due to the significant increase in migration figures. The draft law still has to be approved by parliament. However, the Left Party, which is a junior partner in Tusk's government, has expressed reservations about the measure.
