Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has indicated that his country will no longer comply with the Dublin Regulation, an EU legal act that allows asylum seekers to be returned to the member state in which they first applied for protection.
Such a move would mark a further escalation in the Polish government’s increasingly tough line on migrants and asylum seekers. Tusk’s announcement prompted the European Commission to remind Poland that “all member states are required to fully comply with current asylum rules”.
This never made sense, we should bring asylum seekers into the various european countries so they can be distribute evenly, no matter where they arrived first.
While I do not support Polands decision to break the rules, I also think that the Dublin Agreement is dead for years at this point. Its time for the EU and its members to accept that and finaly find a new solution.
You mean like the alternatives Poland helped block?
It may have had a sense when every EU country was at an outer border… But today, it makes no sense and overloads the weakest members (Southern and Eastern states).
The left is very weak now, doesn’t make sense.
Pro-EU, but frick the Shengen.Who tf came up with that nonsense descriptor?
Most of the western media were describing them like that. Maybe it was too depressing for them to see that this big win for democracy was simply moving from populist right to a better dressed populist right. It’s a taste of things to come for other countries that fell to autocracy.
Sometimes I think Tusk fooled not only Poles but EU elites too, but sometimes I think all of them want to be deceived because they don’t care.
