Polish parliament discusses migration crisis
16:45
Poland's lower chamber of the parliament, the Sejm, held a special sitting on Wednesday to discuss how to handle the on-going migration crisis.
Jarosław Kaczyński, the head of major opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) asked "If the government has the right to yield to external pressure and make decisions that would exacerbate Poland's freedom and safety."
He added that there is a serious threat that refugees will not obey the law, nor accept Polish customs, but would try to impose their beliefs on the society. He warned that "in Sweden, there are 54 zones, where sharia law is imposed and Swedes are afraid to display flags with crosses."
"Do you want to become the same country as Sweden?" Kaczyński asked.
Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz retorted arguing that the main opposition party has revealed its real face. "The face of an anti-European, xenophobic party striving quarrel." The PM ascertained that this is the first sign that PiS would want Poland to exit the EU.
"We can't present ourselves as people who want to fence up and say that we are self-sufficient," Kopacz concluded.
