Błaszczak: Poland will not accept a single refugee who threatens the security

17:04

Poland's Minister of the Interior and Administration Mariusz Błaszczak has claimed Poland will not be accepting a single refugee who threatens the security of country and its citizens. "We will not accept anyone who threatens the security. Currently there are no people, of whom we are 100 percent sure they do not endanger the safety. Unfortunately, a lot of refugees were using false documents. So, we will do nothing that could endanger the safety of Poland and Poles," minister said during a program on RMF FM radio station. Mariusz Błaszczak also stressed that refugees have to receive a help primarily on-site. Last week, Jarosław Kaczyński, the head of the ruling conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party proclaimed that Poland will not accept refugees, because there is no mechanism that would ensure safety, adding that Poland will oppose the European Commission proposals on paying €250,000 per refugee in case EU member state refuses to accept their share of asylum-seekers. At the moment Poland has accepted less asylum-seekers per capita (0.21 asylum-seekers per 1000 citizens,- Eurostat) than almost any other European nation.
