Suspension of the right to asylum in Poland

Poland’s plan aims to signal that the country is not a source of easy asylum or visas into the EU. In many cases, irregular migrants apply for asylum in Poland, but before requests are processed, they travel across the EU’s no-visa travel zone to reach Germany or other countries in Western Europe. Germany recently expanded controls on its borders to fight irregular migration. Poland’s president on Wednesday condemned the government’s contentious plan to suspend the right to asylum for irregular migrants, calling it a “fatal mistake.” President Andrzej Duda, whose approval is needed for the plan to take effect, argued in parliament that it would block access to safe haven for people in Russia and neighboring Belarus who oppose their governments.
