Poland’s national conservative government plans to hold a referendum on whether or not the European Union (EU) should be allowed to redistribute African and Middle Eastern migrants to the country. Poland’s opposition leader, the infamous globalist Donald Tusk, agreed to submit to EU migrant quotas shortly before his Civic Platform (PO) party was swept out of office by the current Law and Justice (PiS) party, which immediately repudiated them – setting the scene with years of legal battles with Brussels.
While Tusk abandoned his post as Polish Prime Minister for a better-paid position as President of the European Commission shortly before this electoral disaster, he is now attempting a comeback in his native country. Conservatives are attempting to preempt the possibility of Tusk reviving the quotas if he wins the election by asking the public their view directly:
Do you support the admission of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa, in accordance with the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the European bureaucracy?
Three other questions will also be put to the Polish people:
- Do you support the sale of state-owned enterprises?
- Do you support the removal of the barrier on Poland’s border with Belarus?
- Are you in favor of raising the retirement age [that is] currently 60 for women and 65 for men?
When Law and Justice came to power, the retirement age was 67 for all Poles. The fact they have been able to lower it to 60 for women and 65 for men, despite having net emigration, has caused consternation in Western Europe, where governments that are increasing the state pension have long justified the record-breaking mass immigration they have overseen by claiming it is required to fund state pensions.
