Poland plans to temporarily suspend the right to asylum as part of a strategy to limit illegal migration amidst tensions with Belarus, which Warsaw accuses of channelling migrants across its border, Prime Minister Tusk said on Saturday (October 12). "If I for instance say clearly today, that one of the elements of the migration strategy will be the temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum, and I will demand this, I will demand recognition in Europe for this decision," Tusk told a congress held by his liberal Civic Coalition (KO) grouping, the largest member of Poland's coalition government. Migration has been high on the agenda in Poland since 2021, when large numbers of people, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, started trying to cross the border with Belarus in what Warsaw and the European Union said was a crisis orchestrated by Minsk and its ally Russia. Russia and Belarus have denied responsibility.
