Poland Criticizes EU Relocation Scheme, Warns of 'Lampedusa' Scenario

The Polish government has criticized the EU's relocation system for migrants and asylum seekers, citing the increase in arrivals on the Italian island of Lampedusa. Meanwhile, Portugal has expressed its willingness to take in some of the migrants to ease the pressure on Italy. In other news, the European Parliament is likely to reject the EU Council's 2021 budget implementation, and far-right AfD candidates in Germany will not face recalls despite false resume claims.
