Europe Divided: Poland, Hungary, and EU Leaders Clash Over Migration Reform

The far-right leaders of Hungary and Poland have rejected a group statement on irregular migration at a summit of European leaders. The clash highlights the ongoing division within the European Union over how to address irregular migration, which has become a central focus of far-right parties. The leaders of Hungary and Poland have been pushing back against the idea of all European countries sharing the distribution of newly arrived migrants, with Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki criticizing a "dictate coming from Brussels and Berlin." The summit did reach a deal on addressing periods of high arrivals, but the issue of migration remains a contentious one within the EU.
