– Today, this is the guarantee of our security, that people who are uncontrolled will not cross our eastern border, because today we are facing a hybrid war on the eastern border, and it must be clearly stated that this border is currently closed – said Rafał Trzaskowski in Zgorzelec.

– It is also important that this project has been recognized as a European project. But this means that we must treat each other as partners on the western border. That is precisely why we have closed the eastern border, why we are securing it, why a law has been introduced that also clearly secures the process of issuing Polish visas and suspends asylum law in these difficult times, in order to send a signal to our partners in the European Union that we take our responsibility very seriously and that, consequently, the border in Europe should remain open and that these Schengen achievements should be treated seriously – he continued.

– And today, this is a signal to our partners in Germany that they should primarily focus on financially supporting us in securing the eastern border, rather than multiplying problems on the border between Poland and Germany, and that full symmetry should apply here – he went on to say.

– Our goal is for the border to be open, because today uncontrolled migrants will no longer be able to get through to us, as we have secured the border. And those times from 8 years ago, when the border was porous and Polish visas were handed out left and right, are over. So, since we take European integration and […] regulations seriously, we will demand exactly the same from our closest partners – he added.
