The position of the European Commission on the migration issue is strange and shameful, Hungarian Foreign and Trade Minister Peter Siyjarto said at a regional conference on migration in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was reported by the Hungarian edition Magyar nemzet…
“Tens of thousands of people are flocking to the continent from the south, southeast and east as a result of the policies of Brussels,” Siyarto said.
He made such a statement on Thursday, November 18, against the background of pressure from the EU and leftist forces on the countries of the Visegrad group, in particular on Poland. Siyjarto noted that the Poles are now “heroically defending” the borders of the European Union.
According to him, Brussels is ready to finance everything that increases immigration pressure, but it does not want to support anything that could reduce the problem and “protect the population of Europe from this threat.”
According to the politician, the Western Balkans are in a strange situation, because migrants arrive through an EU country and want to leave for the EU.
“The time has come for the European Commission to finally support the countries of the Western Balkans in their quest to protect themselves and, therefore, all of us from the pressure of migration,” said Siyarto, adding that one should not expect the states of the Western Balkans to stop migration alone. while European integration is at a standstill.
Earlier, on November 18, Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki opposed the creation of a humanitarian corridor for migrants who had accumulated in Belarus. He emphasized that no agreements that could relate to Poland and this entire situation can be negotiated without the participation of the Polish side.
In addition, the European Commission and Germany rejected a proposal by Belarus that the European Union countries accept 2 thousand migrants on its territory. And the United States accused Minsk of using migrants as “pawns in its efforts to undermine” the situation in the EU.
On November 17, the Polish prime minister said that Poland is guarding the borders of the entire European Union, and the fate of the EU depends on its resilience in the face of the threat of millions of migrants from Africa and the Middle East.
The crisis on the border of Belarus with Latvia, Lithuania and Poland escalated sharply on November 8 due to the increased flow of migrants. Several thousand people approached the Polish border from the Belarusian side. Some tried to break through the fences, others organized camps and remained in the border zone.
