Poland Abandons Pledge to Shelter Refugees After Brussels Blasts

Poland abandoned a pledge to shelter migrants under a European Union relocation agreement, Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said, shifting her country’s stance a day after suicide bombers killed dozens of people in the bloc’s de-facto capital.

...
“I will be very clear: at the moment, I don’t see a possibility for migrants to come to Poland,” Szydlo told Superstacja TV on Wednesday. Her spokesman, Rafal Bochenek, later told journalists that the government “can’t allow for events in western Europe to happen in Poland.”


From a risk versus reward viewpoint, this is a no brainer. Correct move.

Pretty soon, Poles will be telling dumb Belgian/French/German jokes.


How many Germans does it take to create a migrant crisis.....?

let someone else deal with this problem. it's ludicrous that Europe or any Western nation should even take 1 refugee.

It's terrible for all the legit refugees, but certainly understandable that Poland would not want the risk involved. Sympathizing with truly peaceful muslims unfortunately opens the door to the loonies.

Good for her. She's exhibiting more common sense and bigger cajones than her male counterparts.

She is? Bringing in 1 million unvetted refugees into your country is common sense?
