Migration policy of Poland. Changes in approach

angora24.pl 8 months ago

After planet War II, the reviving European economy needed more and more hands to work, especially for people, at the lowest rates of work that the citizens of Western countries did not want to do. Thousands, millions, and it seemed to be a process serving both sides. But as early as 20 April 1968, erstwhile Conservative organization Minister Enoch Powell in Birmingham gave a celebrated speech known as Rivers of Blood speed. He warned that if Britain received large numbers of immigrants in an uncontrollable way, a river of blood would flow through British streets in any time. Accusations of racism and the sowing of hatred caused him to cease to number in the fight for the highest political positions. Around the same time, Swedish Prime Minister Olaf Palme began to implement a policy of democratic socialism, in which the consequence in Sweden over respective decades settled 2 – 3 million visitors from the 3rd World. The Prime Minister paid for it with his life. On February 28, 1986, he was shot erstwhile he and his wife returned from the cinema at night without protection. What is the effect of this policy? The year 2023 was the first in almost a 100 years, erstwhile more people left Sweden than they lived in it, and Europeans prevail among those leaving. This uncontrolled emigration was symbolized by camps in Italian Lampedus and Greek Lesbos, where refugees live in terrible conditions. After years of politics herzlich wolfommen (beginning the celebrated speech of Chancellor Merkel of 31 August 2015, after which about 1 million people from Africa and the mediate East arrived in Germany), Chancellor Scholza's government begins to change its attitude towards immigrants. Why? due to the fact that calling to close the borders and get free of most AfD visitors is getting stronger.

On 14 May 2024, the Council of the European Union adopted the Pact on Migration and Asylum. The main provisions are the verification of the identity of irregular immigrants, the updating of databases, the Regulation on the return border procedure, a fair (whatever that means) sharing of work between associate States, a mandatory border procedure, a solidarity mechanics (obligatory solidarity) to support associate States that have problems with a large influx of immigrants, common rules on resettlement and admission. The pact became the current law, although Poland and Hungary voted against. Now associate States have 2 years to implement these rules. erstwhile news came out that we would gotta pay EUR 20 000 for all immigrant from Africa and the mediate East that we would not like to accept, Minister Jan Grabiec, the head of the Prime Minister's Chancellery said: " The government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk guarantees that Poland will not pay any penalties or charges. Our contribution as a country to helping immigrants, especially refugees from Ukraine, is immense and appreciated by the European Union (...). circumstantial legal opportunities have been provided for obtaining a position in which Poland will not only not pay for immigrants, but will receive backing for this intent from the European Union to a greater degree than the Law and Justice Government. There are legal paths and we will usage them. Our representatives in the Union are working on this.

Sensation to Front Page

On October 12, 2024, the Civic Platform Convention was held. Its main nonsubjective was to media cover the convention of Law and Justice held on the same day. However, during his speech Donald Tusk amazed everyone, saying: – One component of the migration strategy will be the temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum. I will request designation in Europe for this decision. It is due to the fact that we know well how it is utilized by Lukashenko, Putin, smugglers, smugglers of people, how the right to asylum is used, contrary to the substance of that right. These fewer sentences caused a storm. prof. Ewa Łętowska, the justice of the Constitutional Court at rest, which was always the wall behind Tusk's party, stated: – In this form, we surely cannot introduce this. Tuska didn't attack the PiS or the Confederacy, he attacked the coalitions. – There are no compromises on freedom and human affairs – said The Wizard in the “Piasecki’s Talk” programme in TVN24. – Hell, we asked you to abide by the Constitution in Article 56. As far as asylum is concerned, this was not accepted. We are in favour of a migration policy to be clear. That's what we always wanted. But couldn't you talk longer? Was it not possible to talk about asylum simplification instruments alternatively than the elimination of asylum? I know what it means to be serious about the coalition and what this coalition means to Poles and Poles. We're in it, we won't attack it in any way. But we have the right, damn it, to have an opinion on freedom issues and to present them. The government has hastily prepared and adopted a draft migration strategy for the years 2025 to 2030: "Regain control. guarantee safety." Its aim is to monitor and regulate migration processes in detail. Our country has changed its immigration position in a very short time. Currently, about 2.5 million foreigners have been surviving in Poland with the intention of long-term residence, yet since 2016 Poland has no comprehensive migration strategy – reads the government document. Although it contains more than 30 pages, it is very general and declarative. It provides for respective areas of state intervention: access to territory, access to national and global protection, conditions of access to the labour market, educational migration, integration, citizenship and repatriation, and issues related to Polish diaspora. Despite many generalities, the task was not adopted unanimously. He was not supported by 4 left-wing ministers: Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski, Agnieszka Dziemianovich-Bąk, Catherine Kotula and Darius evening. – The Prime Minister did not agree to our amendments concerning, among another things, the inclusion of compliance with the Constitution in the strategy – said Anna Maria Żukowska, president of the Coalition Parliamentary Left Club.

On 16 October in the Sejm, president Duda gave a message in which he besides addressed migration issues: During the time of the Law and Justice, the current rulers mocked the defenders of the Polish borders. Now there's been a 180-degree change. Better late than never.

The government task is based on the 170-page study of the Polish Academy of Sciences “Poland's Migration Policy in the opinions of organization actors”, commissioned by the Ministry of Interior and Administration. These actors are primarily representatives of government and local government administration. 1137 anonymous surveys were collected between May and July this year. The study is much more circumstantial than the government project, so it is worth to mention any of its fragments.

That's how they answered the question about Key values of migration policy of the Polish state:

– safety of Poland – 71.4%.

– Human rights and humanitarianism – 56.4 percent.

– Prosperity and economical improvement of Poland – 54.7%.

– Social cohesion of Poland (correct relations between Polish society and immigrants) – 53.4%.

– National identity – 18.4%.

– European solidarity – 17.5%.

– Demographic growth (in the long term) – 12.4 percent.

The survey looks forward to the adoption of a fresh programming paper that regulates both migration policy and integration at both doctrine and operational level. The respondents reported the request to build a fresh migration management strategy that would be based on the recently established central institution. Respondents considered that the most crucial category of foreigners who could find themselves in Poland is medical personnel, including doctors and nurses, and professionals with professional education, and the least desirable are unqualified workers. As much as 56 percent of respondents considered that foreigners are strong competitors for Polish unskilled workers, and only 23 percent see specified a problem in the case of highly qualified foreigners. quite a few space in the study is devoted to granting Polish citizenship to foreigners. The respondents stressed that applicants for citizenship should have a origin of livelihood and residence, as well as a good cognition of Polish. A small little people advocated the request to take a naturalization oath and at least a two-year permanent stay for refugees and a year for holders of the Polish Charter. However, it is amazing that the study did not address the risks posed by migration policy, although there is immense investigation material in the countries of the alleged old European Union.

For or against

Just a fewer twelve hours after the task was adopted, Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated: – It is not a substance of suspending the right to asylum, it is simply a temporary territorial suspension of the acceptance of applications where the border is crossed illegally and forcefully. So on the Belarusian border. Failure to accept applications is not a suspension of the right to asylum, but the effect will be the same – the majority of lawyers believe. On 17 October, the European Council (its members are the leaders of the 27 associate States, the president of the European Council and the president of the European Commission) adopted a number of conclusions (final conclusions) on a number of crucial issues primarily concerning abroad affairs.

Point V of Migration reads:

37. The European Council calls for decisive action at all levels to facilitate, increase and accelerate return from the European Union, utilizing all applicable EU policies, instruments and tools, including diplomacy, development, trade and visa. It calls on the Commission to present a fresh legislative proposal urgently.

38. We must not let Russia and Belarus or any another country to abuse our values, including the right to asylum, or weaken our democracy. The European Council expresses its solidarity with Poland and with the associate States facing these challenges. Exceptional situations require appropriate measures. The European Council recalls its determination to guarantee effective control of the external borders of the Union by all available means, including with the support of the European Union, in accordance with EU law and global law. It reaffirms its commitment to combat political instrumentalisation of migrants.

39. In addition, fresh ways to prevent and combat irregular migration should be considered, in accordance with EU and global law.

Great Change

In October 2021 Donald Tusk said – They pretend to build a large wall, and they truly want to make a large shaft. It's the shortest definition of what the PiS is doing. – said the PO leader. – They're truly going to spend 1 billion 600 million as planned. Only we will not see this wall and no 1 will see this wall. But erstwhile he became head of government, he changed his mind. In February 2024, during a gathering with the Prime Minister of Finland, Petterim Orpo stated: – Both countries decided to strengthen the external border, besides by building appropriate installations. We're dealing with akin problems. Illegal and organised by countries with us neighbouring migration is simply a problem and Finland, and Poland. Coalitions, especially from the Left, believe that there has been a change from pigeon to hawk in Tusk. But on this issue, the Prime Minister is supported by all the countries of the Union, and in Germany besides by AfD. His migration policy is besides quietly well assessed by the national opposition. Tusk's biggest laurel is the commentary of the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm Krzysztof Bosak (Confederation) on Platform X:

-@In his speech, Andrzej Duda attacked the Prime Minister for his announcements on asylum, seemingly not knowing the details, and Prime Minister@donaldtusk (...), responding to the President, clarified his announcements, saying that there is no "suspension of asylum" ..., but the suspension of the admission of asylum applications from irregular migrants. And that is simply a very right thought that should be urgently voted by the Sejm. On the margins, the Prime Minister made an accurate remark that global law is anachronistic in this substance and that Poland can set fresh trends in this matter. That's a fact. What would not pass under the Law and Justice could pass under the regulation of the Law and Justice. In the context of large negative emotions, we have a reasonable continuation on any issues..
