The Polish government will not allow a migrant crisis similar to that seen in Western Europe, Interior Minister Mariusz Baszczak has said.

The policy of multiculturalism in Western Europe is bringing about a bloody harvest in the form of terrorist attacks, Baszczak told Polish Radio on Tuesday.

He said that Europe is dealing with a massive immigration crisis.

The Polish conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government has refused to accept migrants from the Middle East and Africa under an EU programme to relocate some 160,000 asylum seekers currently residing in camps in Italy and Greece.

The previous Polish government coalition led by the Civic Platform (PO) party had accepted the deal signed by EU member states.

Our predecessors, agreeing to receive thousands of refugees and de facto immigrants from the Middle East, and northern Africa were striving to bring about such a crisis, Baszczak said.

He added that while PiS was in power, it would not allow a repeat of what we are dealing with in Western Europe. (rg/pk)

Authoritarian Erdogan at odds with Brussels after referendum win

Europe is braced for a new migrant crisis after the newly victorious Turkish president indicated that he was preparing for a fight with Brussels by restoring the death penalty and demanding visa-free travel across the Continent.

European diplomats expect Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who won a narrow victory in a constitutional referendum on Sunday, to consolidate his new executive powers by picking political battles with the EU. Fears are growing that the increasingly authoritarian leader will abandon EU membership ambitions by dropping judicial and democratic reforms and issuing an ultimatum on visa-free travel for Turks.

The promise of a deal giving 75 million Turks the right to enter the EUs Schengen area without a visa has been a key condition of Turkeys implementation of an agreement

EU leaders ‘TERRIFIED Turkey could TURN ITS BACK on controversial migrant deal’ – Express.co.uk

Officials across the continent are expecting Erdogan to square up to Brussels, reinstating the death penalty and demanding visa-free travel within the EUs Schengen area.

The increasingly authoritarian Turkish president, who narrowly won a referendum granting him more control over key areas of the government, made an agreement with the EU to home some three million migrants during the height of the migrant crisis.

But Erdogans willingness to square up to the blocs red line opposition to capital punishment has led to fears they may allow their migrant population to move into Europe.

It follows last weeks stern warning from Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who claimed Turkey would throw away the EUs migrant deal if free movement was not granted.

The Italian leader of the socialists in the European Parliament Gianni Pittella said MEPs were concerned about building closer ties with the Islamic republic ahead of a vote on visa-free travel next week.

He said: Weve always been very reluctant to ensure a visa-free regime to Turkey as, in our opinion, Ankara does not match the democratic criteria.

Now after the referendum our concerns are even bigger.

Meanwhile the Greek military is preparing to act on emergency plans in the event of another migrant crisis.

A senior Greek official told The Times: There was a lot of steamy, bellicose rhetoric made by Erdogan ahead of the referendum.

If he continues with belligerent policies then Greece will be the first to face the fallout.

The fear is real but the question is whether Erdogan will risk turning into a regional pariah.

Omer Celik, Turkeys minister for EU affairs, claimed Ankara will push ahead with their visa-free travel plan and tell the EU to drop calls for reform to their hardline anti-terror legislation or face the consequences.

Mr Celik said: While legislation is being aggravated and strengthened in the face of terrorist threats across Europe, it is unrealistic to expect that Turkey should weaken its legislation.

He added: If we get a negative response from the EU we have the right to re-evaluate and suspend all of these agreements.
