Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will attend the European Council, which will take place on 29 and 30 June in Brussels. The head of the Polish government made a message before the EU summit.

Europe is under attack. Europe's borders are not safe. The safety of the people of our continent is at risk. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has shown what a hybrid war is, what a threat to all of us. Belarus is besides part of the Russian attack plan for Europe. They usage different methods, including hybrid methods, organised groups of illegal immigrants. Russian and Belarusian attacks remind us that borders between countries are not simply contractual lines outlined on the map.

Poland has shown that borders can be effectively defended against strong migration pressure. Borders mark the real difference between Europe, as a continent of freedom and security, and areas where there is frequently chaos, anarchy and sometimes tyranny. This chaos, this anarchy, we do not want in Poland and we do not want in Europe. Europe is simply a civilization rejecting war, rejecting terrorism, execution and rape. Rejecting all violence. If individual does not accept it, there is no place for specified a individual in Europe. Not everyone understands it, not everyone knows the scale of the threat. any leaders overlook the threat that appears at borders and on the streets of Europe.

Poland is clear: beginning borders, deficiency of effective protection, putting Europeans at hazard – a strategical mistake that threatens the endurance of the European Union. Our citizens will pay for this mistake. For centuries Poland has defended Europe against various invasions. present we are one more time a front country, a country that understands the dangers facing Europe. We have successfully defended Europe against the first waves of illegal immigrants. Today, Poland must one more time be the voice of reason for the full of Europe. Therefore, at the European Council, it will propose a concrete plan and I will propose a plan for safe borders. This plan is clear – “no” for the forced relocation of immigrants, “no” for the violation of the veto law by individual states and “no” for the violation of the rule of freedom, the rules of decision-making by states themselves, “no” for Brussels sanctions imposed on associate States. A “yes” for security, for sovereignty and so for the best protected borders in Europe.

Europe is not only a continent located between the Atlantic and Ural, but above all Europe is simply a way of life. Everyone can become European regardless of their origin or colour, provided that he respects European values, rejects force and respects our civilisation. associate States must not be prevented from protecting their citizens. For centuries, visitors from outside Europe have found a fresh home here due to the fact that they have accepted the rules that have been in this home for centuries. Unfortunately, any politicians from Brussels present want to build a post-national continent, without being rooted in tradition. This concept is readily supported on the 1 hand by leftist, liberal and their ideologists, and on the another hand by powerful countries hostile to us, by hostile forces in various regions of the world. This concept is by its nature anti-European.

Already today, the blood of the people of Europe is shed by the deficiency of liable politics. Worse still, the green light for uncontrolled migration has nothing to do with the protection of human rights. On the contrary, it is for human rights violations, expanding suffering, contributing to the growth of crime in Europe and indirectly supporting criminal groups operating at the borders of Europe – smuggling groups. Any signal that the Union will accept a certain number of migrants encourages smugglers to send more. We would accept 30 [thousand] – 300,000 will come. We would adopt another 20 million as Europe. It's a spiral forever. beginning Europe's borders is beginning up a black marketplace where smugglers, human traffickers, various kinds of gangs are gaining wealth. This is besides an increased hazard of terrorism across Europe. We see this in many Western European countries in the suburbs of large cities. These are circumstantial threats described in the latest Frontex report. The more uncontrolled migration, the more terrorist groups across Europe.

What is actual European solidarity? Poland has accepted over 3 million refugees from Ukraine. Around 1.5 million of these refugees are inactive in Poland. We opened our homes. No 1 forced us to do this. Poles showed that they are a great, open nation. Within the European Union, there should not be first and second-class citizens as there should be first and second-class countries. Supporting the sum of respective twelve euros of Ukrainian citizens, and threatening to punish more than 20 000 euros for not accepting an immigrant from the mediate East or Africa, is simply a clear discrimination not to usage much stronger word.

Many EU countries are struggling and will gotta deal in the future with the shameful inheritance of colonialism. Poles will not repent for the sins of colonialism of old empires. It was not the Polish government that contributed to destabilisation in the mediate East or in Africa. It was not Poles who became rich on the resources from the colony.

Europe is its peoples – it is simply a variety of languages and a variety of cultures. Europe does not make a federation or a centrally managed quazi state. It is only a community of equal and sovereign states. Meanwhile, any of the strongest countries in the Union want to impose their will on others. We won't agree to that. We have a better alternative. We have a safe border plan.

First, we gotta invest together in effective surveillance of all external borders of the Union. More money is needed from the European Union, from the budget.

Second Frontex should be reformed So he can fight human smugglers effectively.

Thirdly, the Commission should rebuild the budget, rebuild it in specified a way that it finds itself more resources for developing countries bordering the European Union. Let us fight effectively the causes, not the effects of the phenomena we face today.

Fourth Restriction of social benefits for persons outside the Union.

And 5 – No longer tolerate the cooperation of NGOs with human smugglers. The Union, with the aid of Europol and Interpol, must take effective action against gangs and smugglers – with human traffickers simply.

In Poland we propose a referendum on this issue – this is the most honest way for Poles to talk – what they expect. Let those afraid – women, children, people who are threatened by attacks through increased illegal migration on the Polish streets – talk first of all if there is an increased influx of refugees forced by the European Union. Europe has become the best place to live, friendly, not only due to the fact that we have freedom, we have prosperity, but besides due to the fact that we can defend them. Let us give the level to the people and we besides encourage another European countries to do so.

I will present this plan in a fewer hours at the European Council. This is simply a safe border plan. On behalf of millions of Polish citizens whose interests are represented by the Government of Law and Justice, pWe'll veto the forced relocation mechanism.. A Europe of safe borders is besides a Europe without forced relocation. This relocation is imported either through the back door or is an effort to introduce it through the back door, contrary to the Treaties, under the threat of financial penalties.

The Government of Law and Justice will surely not agree to any experiments, any extortions concerning the admission of illegal immigrants. I will not agree as Prime Minister to violate our rights and our sovereignty. The alleged Migration Pact is not a pact. This is simply a request for surrender from the associate States and we do not agree. all country has a right to be its host. The same rule applies to our full continent. Europe has a sacred right to be its host and it is advanced time that all Europe is aware of this.
