Żurek on Asylum for Poles in Hungary:
Does This Comply with EU Law? In My Opinion, No.
- We are establishing this, I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have the first information, we are also waiting for these details. We know that asylum has been granted to two individuals - said Waldemar Żurek in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm, when asked if he had information on who applied for asylum in Hungary.
- Does this comply with EU law? In my opinion, no, because we have a European arrest warrant and all countries should respect it. And we also have the principle of reciprocity, meaning, we believe that every state in the Union adheres to EU law and there is no EU state that is an oppressive state where political asylum should be applied, because otherwise such a state should be excluded from the European Union - he continued.
- There is no certainty, at this moment this is completely unconfirmed, so I don't even want to speculate - he went on, when pressed about the uncertainty regarding whether the asylum case concerned Zbigniew Ziobro and his wife.
