EU Leaders Face Opposition from Poland and Hungary on Migration Reform

Poland and Hungary have blocked a joint declaration on migration policy after an informal gathering of European Union leaders in Granada, Spain. The disagreement comes despite an earlier agreement among the bloc's diplomats this week to present a migration reform package to the European Parliament. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki rejected the migration policy reference in the joint statement, while Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban insisted that decisions should have been taken by consensus. French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Poland and Hungary's disagreement did not necessarily mean that a final deal on migration would be blocked. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz rejected Poland and Hungary's stance, emphasizing that agreed-upon rules should apply to everyone.

EU Leaders Gather in Granada to Address Enlargement, Migration, and Economic Security

European Union leaders are meeting in Granada to discuss issues such as enlargement, migration, and economic competitiveness. The summit comes after a pledge of support for Ukraine at the European Political Community summit. Enlargement remains a challenge for the bloc, with eight countries having official EU candidate status. EU Council President Charles Michel emphasized the need for reforms and preparation for new member countries. The leaders are expected to state that the future of aspiring members lies within the EU. The summit will also address immigration challenges, with southern EU nations seeking to implement changes to handle irregular immigration. However, Poland and Hungary expressed outrage at the planned changes, with Poland rejecting the admission of illegal immigrants and Hungary describing the proposed legislation as "legally raped."
