"Poland will not pay for the mistakes of other countries." Tusk on migration policy

Donald Tusk referred on social media to the talks he held during the EU summit in Brussels.

"Poland will not repeat the mistakes of other European countries, nor will it pay for them," the Prime Minister wrote on the X website.

The head of government emphasized that Poland pursues its own policy on migration and asylum.

"We firmly defend the border against illegal migration, we have our own asylum policy, we do not accept applications, we deport those who break Polish law," Tusk said.

He added that in matters of security, the Polish authorities will act ruthlessly.

"This is what European leaders in Brussels heard from me," the Prime Minister emphasized.
