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.

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

The Polish government has criticized the EU's relocation system and expressed concern over the increasing number of migrants arriving on the Italian island of Lampedusa. Poland and Hungary have been vocal opponents of the EU's mandatory solidarity-based migration management scheme, arguing that they have already taken in a significant number of refugees. The Polish government has adopted a resolution rejecting relocation and instead advocates for strengthening the EU's external borders and repatriating migrants. The issue of irregular migration is a key topic ahead of Poland's upcoming elections, which will include a referendum on the EU's proposed migration and asylum system.

EU Ministers Reach Historic Agreement on Asylum and Migration Reforms

European Union countries have agreed to reform the bloc's migration and asylum policy, which should see migrants more fairly distributed across the EU's 27 member states and shake up asylum application practices to allow authorities to deport people more swiftly. Under the new compromise, EU countries can opt out of relocating migrants if they pay a fee of €20,000 ($21,553) per person into a fund managed by Brussels. The deal, which needed backing from a qualified majority of the bloc's members, paves the way for final negotiations with lawmakers at the European Parliament.
