Petition to: Prime Minister of Poland, EU Commissioner for Migration, And the Leaders of all EU members states
After terror attacks, say 'NO' (like, Poland) to EU immigration quotas
After terror attacks, say 'NO' (like, Poland) to EU immigration quotas
The European Commission has set this month (June) as the deadline for EU member states to comply with the forced redistribution of 160,000 non-EU immigrants, from Greece and Italy, to other EU countries.
Miss the deadline, and sanctions - fines, loss of funding, etc. - have been threatened.
But, Poland (and, Hungary) have refused, in the words of the Polish Prime Minister, Beata Szydło, to be "blackmailed" by the Commission on this matter.
Indeed, in a speech to the Polish Parliament, which she made on 26 May, Szydło stated the follow, with specific reference to the potential for harm which uncontrolled immigration poses for both the physical safety and the cultural integrity of Europe:
Where are you headed, Europe? Rise from your knees and from your lethargy, or you will be crying over your children every day.
If you cannot see that terrorism has the potential to hurt every country in Europe, and you think that Poland should not defend itself, you are going hand in hand with those who point this weapon against Europe, against all of us.
Do we want politicians who say we have to ‘get used to’ terrorist attacks?
And, of course, Prime Minister Szydło was not just referring to Polish politicians, but, rather, to European politicians, generally, and to the European Commission, in particular.
Also, particularly tone-deaf to the demands of the citizens of Europe, the German Chancellor, who caused the migration crisis in Europe by responding to the waves of migrants, in 2015, with her "open door policy", now demands that member states of the Union embrace this army of invited guests.
But, faced with the ongoing and brutal terrorist attacks in European cities, the multi-generational lack of integration of minorities from the Middle East and North Africa, and the reluctance of European society to assent to Turkey joining the EU, the European Commission has now resorted to forcing the relocation of migrants on member states, including Poland - contrary to Polish government policy and the overwhelming majority of Polish people.
Indeed, opposition to forced EU quotas of immigrants in Poland has reached 75% in recent polling. And, a December, 2016 Eurobarometer poll shows such opposition in all EU member states to stand at 56% (please see the report below).
The unprecedented pressure of the European institutions on the Polish Government, blackmailing and threatening to withdraw EU funds in the event of a refusal, are completely contrary to the treaties which Poland signed when joining the European Union. It is supposed to be a union of sovereign and democratic member states.
And, it's not as though Poland has refused to help the situation at all. The Polish Government has, in fact, promised to direct financial aid to refugee camps in the Middle East, which seems an astute response to the crisis.
Thus, the anti-democratic actions of the European Union, in this regard, continue to deepen the crisis of confidence in the EU ruling elite, and also confirm, for observers of the EU, that the Commission disregard both the will of electorate as well as the security of the member states.
Which seems staggeringly myopic, considering that these are precisely the issues which were at-play in the Brexit vote.
Moreover, the rhetoric and tone of the demands placed on member states, in this regard, are offensive. Most countries in the EU have, at one time or another, warmly received refugees of war and famine. For example, Poland received tens of thousands of Vietnamese immigrants out of East Germany after regaining independence in 1989, as well as many Muslim refugees from the Chechnya Wars. But, now, the country stands accused of lack of compassion and xenophobia.
These kinds of accusation are, therefore, not only bogus, but also scandalous.
Poland - and all EU member states - as sovereign countries have the right not to agree to the program of forced relocation of immigrants imposed by the decision of a third party, against the will of the citizens of those states.
The European Commission's threats and blackmail on this issue must not become the language of EU diplomacy. Simply put, Brussels can not usurp the rights of democratically-elected governments of free member states.
For these reasons, this petition does two things: 1) Supports the Polish authorities for their actions - rejecting the forced quotas of migrants - in this vital matter for the future of Poland; and, 2) Protests the action of the EU Commission, by alerting Dimitris Avramopoulos, the European Commissioner for Migration, to the obvious security and cultural threats involved in this program, as well as contacting (and, warning) all of the heads of state (of each member state) about the same.
Thank you for signing this urgent petition!

Support Poland as they say 'NO' to external immigration quotas forced by the EU Commission
For the Kind Attention of:
- Polish Premier - Ms Beata Szydło
- EU Commissioner for Migration - Mr Dimitris Avramopoulos
- Leaders (Prime Ministers and Presidents) of ALL Member States of the EU
There are moments in the history of nations and states when it is clear that the fate of the whole community depends on the decisions of individuals in the political community.
Decisions taken at a particular moment in time.
Decisions that determine not only outcomes for the next two quarters, but, also, for the next few decades, and beyond.
In the history of Poland - and, Europe - there have been many such moments, both in the distant and recent past.
Everything indicates that we are now approaching a similar historical moment, for both Poland, and for Europe, more generally.
The European Commission (and, indeed, Germany) is demanding that the Polish Government - and, in fact, most EU member states - approve the forced relocation of immigrants to Poland - and, almost all other member states.
The unprecedented pressure being applied by the European institutions on the Government of Poland, including blackmailing sanctions and withdrawing funds, in case of refusal, are completely contrary to the treaties which Poland - and, every EU member state - signed when joining the European Union.
However, should the Polish Government consent to the forced relocation of immigrants, it will essentially agree to change the population structure of Poland for the coming decades, and, in fact, forever.
And, what is true for Poland in this case, is also true for the entire European Union.
Specifically, such consent would give permission to liquidate the existing Polish (European) lifestyle, in order to suit the requirements of a completely unpredictable and foreign "multiculturalism". And, finally - it would also give leave to bring the widespread danger of terrorist attacks to the inhabitants of Poland (and, the rest of Europe).
There is an indisputable link between Muslim immigrants settling in Europe and the acts of terror which have taken place in different European countries. We have now witnessed this in France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and the UK.
Radicalization of the Muslim population is also taking place in successive generations, as evidenced by recent attacks in Manchester and London.
The Europe-led migration crisis has generated many acts of terror, but moreover, there is also a crisis of confidence in the European ruling elite who, ideologically blinded, are unable to diagnose the source of the problem itself. The ideology of political correctness that they profess dulls these people's diagnostic tools for responding properly to the threat.
Instead, people calling for a return to common sense are accused of xenophobia and have their mouths closed by censorship in the media.
Meanwhile, it is obvious, for anyone not blinded by political correctness, that the possible relocation of immigrants to countries, such as Poland, will only heighten the probability that the citizens of these countries will lose their lives in a terrorist attack, or suffer from other acts of violence such as rape...or, some form of cultural violence, leading to the fear of expressing one's beliefs or views.
Therefore, supporting the Polish government is not xenophobic, but, rather, the result of logical reasoning.
Europe has had experience of dealing with aggressive Islam in the past - Spain certainly, Austria and Hungary, too. And, it was the Poles who were obliged to defend Europe against Islamisation in the Seventeenth Century.
Of course, what Europe must now seek to do is help the people of war-torn countries, there, on the spot - and, this aid must be provided, and it must be effective.
But, forced quotas of immigrants into member states, by the EU, cannot be accepted.
Therefore, this petition does two things: 1) Supports the Polish authorities for their actions - rejecting the forced quotas of migrants - in this vital matter for the future of Poland; and, 2) Protests the action of the EU Commission, by alerting Dimitris Avramopoulos, the European Commissioner for Migration, to the obvious security and cultural threats involved in this program, as well as contacting (and, warning) all of the heads of state (of each member state) about the same.
Thank you for recognising the dangers inherent in this flawed program, and for calling an immediate halt to the forced relocation of immigrants in the EU.
