October 15, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Szymon Ho\u0142ownia, speaker of the Polish parliament, has expressed skepticism about Prime Minister Donald Tusk\u2019s proposal to suspend asylum procedures, describing it as an extreme measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland could stop considering asylum requests in a constitutionally valid case, such as a state of emergency or martial law, Ho\u0142ownia said on October 14, one day before Tusk was scheduled to present a new migration strategy calling for \u201cterritorial\u201d suspension of the right to asylum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The right to asylum should be suspended only in a situation where, for example, a border is violated or in a very serious escalation of hybrid warfare,” Ho\u0142ownia said, as quoted by RMF24<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ho\u0142ownia agreed that the border must be protected, but stressed that security must not exclude humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ho\u0142ownia noted that no one had consulted his Polska 2050 party on the proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If adopted, the halt on asylum procedures may affect hundreds of Belarusians seeking asylum in Poland amid political reprisals in their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
