“The coalition avoids the subject”! Sachaiko's asking about the migration pact. In response, Gajewska started by in vitro

In fresh days, there has been an different exchange in the Sejm between associate Jarosław Sachajka from the Republican ellipse and Deputy Minister of household Aleksandra Gajewska. The subject was to be European Union Migration Pactbut the conversation rapidly moved on a completely different subject – In vitro programme. How did this happen, and what is worth knowing about both?

Migration pact: Poles fear forced relocation of immigrants

Poles are increasingly expressing concerns about implementation EU migration pact, which assumes forced relocation of illegal immigrants to the associate States. During the 28th session of the Sejm, Mr Jarosław Sachajko decided to address this subject, noting the possible consequences for Poland.

– No money for oncology, no police, no social construction Sachajko said, referring to the deficiency of resources for key areas of social life. – But illegal immigrants will receive the state and they will receive more than pensioners – he added.

He besides referred to Asylum Directivewhich is part of the migration pact. According to this, all EU countries are to guarantee a harmonised standard of surviving for refugees. In practice, this means that illegal immigrants in Poland could receive higher social benefits than Polish unemployed or retired people.

Sachajko submitted a formal request for a break in the gathering and requested the Prime Minister to explain why Poland should bear the costs and exposure itself to the danger of implementing the pact.

Gajewska answers: In vitro is life and love

In consequence to Sachaika's speech, Deputy Minister of the household Alexander Gajewska came to the platform. However, her reaction was amazing due to the fact that alternatively of addressing migration issues, she started talking about government in vitro co-financing programme.

– You enter and you lie about reality, you lie about what your policy looked like said Gajewska. – But we do good, concrete and measurable things. Government in vitro co-financing programme last year nearly 9.300 pregnancies. First born in vitro baby. Girl, preeminent – she added with enthusiasm.

Deputy Minister stressed that the in vitro programme was life, love and happiness of many families, and besides accused the opposition of spreading disinformation and hatred.

Sachaiko reposts: Gajewska did not realize the question

Mr Sachajko did not stay indebted and re-entered the platform, stating that Gajewska clearly did not realize what he was asking. He recalled that in December, the ruling coalition recorded the implementation of the migration pact as priorities for its Presidency in the EU Council.

– Does the minister realize that this is about the safety of Poles? – asked rhetorically.

Tusk promise: Poland will not implement the migration pact?

4 February Prime Minister Donald Tusk assured that Poland will not implement the migration pact nor projects that would lead to forced admission of migrants. – It's a definite decision. – stressed the head of government.

However, opposition parties specified as the PiS, the Confederate or the Republican ellipse do not believe in these assurances. They point out that for taxpayers' money already created Centres for the Integration of Foreigners, which may propose preparations for receiving immigrants.

Comments from Brussels: Poland will not avoid responsibilities

Former EU Commissioner for interior Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner in consequence to the Euro MP of the Confederation Marcin Sypniewski, he acknowledged that Poland would not be exempted from the work to receive illegal immigrants due to assistance provided to refugees from Ukraine.

European Commission spokesperson on Tuesday Markus Lammert He referred to Prime Minister Tusk's announcements, suggesting that Poland would gotta fulfil its commitments to the EU.

Summary: Migration Pact vs. in vitro – what next?

The exchange between Sakhaika and Gajevska shows how different the priorities of politicians can be. On the 1 hand, we have concerns about a migration pact and its possible consequences for Poland, on the another hand – enthusiasm towards In vitro programmeWhich is simply a chance for many families to have a parenting.

Will Poland truly avoid implementing the migration pact? Will the in vitro programme become the main subject of public debate? These questions will be answered in the coming months.
