During Tuesday’s meeting in Brussels with President Juncker, Prime Minister Morawiecki presented documents proving that thousands of asylum applications are filed in Poland. They disprove Brussels’ rhetoric that the Polish government is not friendly towards people looking for shelter in our country. – I have noticed a considerable change in attitude of President Juncker when it comes to linking EU budget with e.g. refugees’ issues – stated the Polish PM. |
