Poland's Prime Minister says country will accept no refugees as EU threatens them

[Kiri]

The entire structure of EU is autocratic. And increasingly, hostile to the idea of nation state. It hates, hates, absolutely hates countries who still insist on governing their internal affairs.

We see this with Greece, Poland, Hungary and other countries.

What is autocratic about voting on something and then wanting it seen through?

[Theodarzna]

Poland isn't know for its excessively generous Welfare state, and likely its police won't defend the Taharrush either.

[Berengil]

Kick them out of the EU and impose crippling sanctions. We don't need to tolerate this.

If Brussels wants to paint itself in the worst possible light, while killing the EU dead as a hammer, then yes they should do this.

You would see a number of Article 50 invocations within the first few months after such a foolish action on the EU's part.

[Charge me Doctor]

Good for them then i guess

[want my Slimjim]

Props for Poland, and shame on the EU.

I'm glad Poland has done this. I would hate to see their culture crumble.

[Krille]

Nobody would really give two shits if Poland left the EU except for the polish workers that make great bucks out of working freely in EU countries without border restrictions. Truth is, i personally don't make a distinction between refugees and the polish immigrants we've got. To me you're the same. Not to mention the sham business they're running, i constantly hear about Polish carpenters etc accepting work and then doing half the job and then leaving. Sad part is that even with 10% of what a regular citizen would make they're happy.

Leave the EU guys, please, i beg you.

You know next to nothing about government do you? Also your desire to impoverish and starve an entire nation of people betrays your own virtue signaling. It isnt human life you care about, and to all the others who speak like you, it never was what you cared about. Maybe the world will finally see the hypocrisy on mass.

If you first priority would be to take care of your own citizens first who were born and grew here, not some immigrants from a far away land that can't speak your language.

[Heladys]

Why would anyone want to go there anyhow? I mean, you can get sausage anywhere.

Fuck eastern europe. They should never have been allowed into the EU in the first place. All the eastern european countries are just money drains. We send them billions while their cheap laborers put our laborers out of work.
Fuck syria and it's refugees. The West should pull back all of it's forces immediately. Let Assad take back control over his country. No lessons were learned from Iraq. "We're bringing peace and democracy with bombs!" Look how that worked out.
Fuck our politicians. They're all dumb as fuck.

So when are you moving back to Sweden?

So when are you moving back to Sweden?

Not the same​ dealio. And we contribute, unlike the folks from the middle east

The EU won't do much.

Why? Because sweet Poland can make their lives a miserable hell in the Brexit negotiations if they try sanctioning them.

Kick them out of the EU and impose crippling sanctions. We don't need to tolerate this.

Then you'd watch the whole EU collapse in itself? Yes very smart let's destroy the entire Union over the refugee stance of one country.

People like you with these kind of stances that are just really, REALLY stupid, have no business in the realm of politics.

You THINK it's just Poland? How about Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Romania, Italy, Spain, Portugal and even large sections of the Netherlands that would look at the EU with complete and utter disgust even as many of those listed have accepted the refugee quotas.

Punitive actions by the damned commission have ONLY hurt the EU as a whole and pardon me for stating a bloody fact: You're Canadian if I'm not wrong. Go back to your Trudeau economic collapsing snowflake country. We've got actual serious issues to deal with.

[GreenJesus]

Good. Hope more countries in the EU tell the EU to fuck off and let them do what their own country wants. Btw.. Canada is that 18 year old millenial that shares a video on tumblr and acts like they are the bastion of social justice. Meanwhile, they only accept the best of the best educated ones instead of the poor and uneducated refugees or migrants.

[Deleted]

Most people don't know or don't care but Poland has accepted literally hundreds of thousands of migrants/refugees from Ukraine.
And Poland has helped them. And it has not asked for help from other EU states.

And EU can't do shit about this either. This is a decision made by sovereign nation state.

God, Brussels is beginning to resemble Soviet Union more and more. One degree deviation from the autocratic norm and they flip out.

Why should anyone give a shit about poland ukr refugees problem? Poland was the one country who pushed the most in eu for the COUP which derailed the country!

[kamuimac]

Shame on them, I hope the people of Poland are more reasonable than their government

they are but its kinda messy - people are split 50:50 between very radical pseeudo-christians (and no its not religion bashing if even church in Poland has stated that they should take in refugees ) conservatives nutjobs who would really love to live in country siimliar to North Korea as long as they would be "proud families with typical polish values" (sadly those values seem to base a lot on national socialism :/ ) and half who are normal people with typical liberal views .

polish goverment is atm just feeding on fear of terrorism and if it continues like this it will eventualy lead to civil unrest.

[Mayhem]

Most British people who emigrate tend to be relatively wealthy and not piss poor refugees, so have to pass immigration criteria like anyone else and are unlikely to require welfare.

Welfare, no, are they a drain on the respective healthcare systems, absolutely.

Screw the poor leechers who push for undemocratic political changes.

[ati87]

A total of 74 percent of Poles are against the country accepting refugees from the Middle East and Africa, according to pollster CBOS.

Probably the same amount of people in western Europe are against Polish males moving to their country...

[Slant]

Polish government doing what all of Eastern Europe should be doing. Let France and Germany deal with their problem.

Wait, you wanted Germany dissolved. Now you want Germany to do the work for you? Cybran, Cybran... what of your glorious hate for Germany. You need to stick to your principles!

Bold statement. And a gross misconceptions on so many things...

I'm not sure you understand the power dynamic between what the EU wants, what Poland wants and what the UK wants.

The intrest of the EU and Poland are kind of aligned, the country who's stance is the toughest is probably Poland which suits the other EU countries just fine. So unless Poland decides ''I don't care about my citizens abroad'' the rest of the EU leaders aren't worried about Poland changing it's attitude on the UK.


you're second point is just rambling, writing down a few random countries doesn't really mean much. The current Polish government has only one real ally and that's Hungary who is just as bad, everybody else kind of dislikes the current governments of these respective countries because of how they govern.
