Morawiecki to migrants: Come back to Poland
13:37
Development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told BBC Newsnight that it would be "a great day for Poland" if all those living abroad came home.
He said he expects Poles will stop migrating within the next 5-7 years, as wages in the country increase. "I would like those Poles to come back," said Mr Morawiecki. "I would welcome all Polish people who went abroad. If only they could come back, it would be a great day for Poland." The deputy prime minister said he was "very much concerned" at the possibility of the UK voting to leave the EU in a referendum in June. "I hope that Great Britain will remain part of the European Union, because times are not easy," he said. "We have some geopolitical turbulence around us - in the Ukraine and with the refugee problem - and it's better to deal with these collectively." He said if the UK does vote to leave, Poland would remain "a firm pillar of the European Union argument", and would resist any possible "domino effect". Morawiecki also said he supports a proposed deal with Turkey aimed at resolving the migrant crisis.
