Yesterday Jihad Watch reported
on the tough stand taken by Poland and Hungary, as the EU gangs up on
them to accept migrant quotas or face being kicked out of the EU.


Kudos to Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo for protecting her
country’s citizens from jihadist threats, Muslim migrant crime and
economic disaster, in sharp contrast to Angela Merkel and other European
leaders.

Poland blasts EU for migrant crisis quotas: ‘We will resist blackmail and pressure’, by Sebastian Kettley, Express, April 5, 2017:

Ms Szydło’s declaration follows threats from Brussels to
boot Poland and Hungary out of the EU – two nations which have failed to
house any of the160,000 migrants.

The Prime Minster told a press conference today her country will continue with a “prudent and reasonable migrant policy”.

She said: “The Polish government under my leadership, from the moment
we took responsibility for Poland, said it will not accept this
resolution as we consider it bad for Europe.

“The European Union made a fatal mistake under pressure from
lobbyists but also under a lot of pressure from Germany – it accepted
resolutions which turned out not only to be ineffective but also did not
solve the migrant problem.”

Ms Szydło added that failing to adequately deal with the migrant
crisis has led to only 27 members remaining within the EU – alluding
strongly to Brexit.

On Tuesday a source said Poland and Hungary’s anti-migrant stance threatened their position within the bloc.

The source said: “They will have to make a choice: are they in the
European system or not? You cannot blackmail the EU, unity has a price.”

By the end of the year the European Court of Justice will scrutinise
the legality of migrant quotas – but is expected to rule in their
favour.

Brussels has ruled Poland has to accept 6,200 migrants into the country by 2017 which the country has so far failed to do so.

The source added: “We are confident that the ECJ will confirm
validation, then they [Poland and Hungary] must abide by the decision.

“If they don’t then they will face consequences, both financial and political.

The Polish Prime Minister made it clear in her message that no member
state has met the quotas which in her opinion were damaging to the EU.

She said: “Someone is still trying to break the unity of the European
Union and is trying to force pressure in order to continue wrongful
migrant policies.”…..
