WARSAW: Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Saturday he planned to partially suspend asylum rights for irregular migrants, accusing human traffickers and countries such as Russia and Belarus of abusing the system.
Tusk, who is due to present a migration policy package on Tuesday, said in a speech to his Civic Coalition movement that Poland would wage a “merciless” fight against undocumented immigrants entering the country.
“I’m saying loud and proud that our migration strategy will include the temporary suspension of the right to asylum on our territory,” he said. He added he would ask the European Union to “recognise” the proposal.
