Poland, Austria to Quit UN Migration Compact: ‘We Want Poles to Be Safe in Their Own Country’

[Swordsmyth]

Austria may join the U.S. and Hungary in withdrawing from the United Nations (UN) migration pact, Sebastian Kurz has said, following news that Poland is preparing to quit the agreement over security concerns.

At a press conference Wednesday, the Austrian leader cited concern over sovereignty relating to the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, which claims that huge movements of people across borders are “inevitable, necessary, and desirable”.
“We view some of the points in this agreement very critically. We will therefore do everything to maintain the sovereignty of our country and ensure that we as the Republic of Austria can decide for ourselves on migration issues,” Reuters reported the Chancellor as saying.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting, Kurz told journalists that the Danish government has expressed similar concerns over the agreement, which was previously signed by all UN member nations except the U.S., which withdrew last year.
Vice-chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, from the populist Freedom Party, added that the government is looking into the legal implications of the document.

“It cannot … be that any formulations are adopted that could perhaps or possibly be interpreted to mean that migration can be a human right. That can and must not be the case,” he said.
Earlier this week, Poland’s Interior Minister Joachim Brudzinski said he was recommending that Warsaw quit the globalist compact, stating that “the draft of the agreement does not contain adequately strong guarantees of [nations’] sovereign right to decide who comes into their territory and [nor does it] distinguish legal and illegal migration”.

After Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, Estonia has also left the UN migration pact.
“In forming the governing coalition, we agreed that we make decisions only by consensus. The government has today failed to reach agreement at the Cabinet meeting on support for the UN migration pact. Therefore, the government will not join the agreement, “wrote Prime Minister Jüri Ratas (Center Party) on Thursday on Facebook.

It’s official, Poland will not sign the UN Compact for Global Migration, Radio Poland reports.
According to the news outlet, which uses the Polish Press Agency PAP as source, a government minister communicated the official stance to public broadcaster Polish Radio on Tuesday.
“We believe that this is not a good solution. This is not a method that would make it possible to reduce the migration crisis. On the contrary, it would only intensify the crisis,” Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Błaszczak said.

BELGIUM’S government is at risk crumbling over the United Nations’ controversial Migration Pact, which has been welcomed by the nation’s Prime Minister Charles Michel but challenged by the country’s largest opposition party.

Bart de Wever, leader of the New-Flemish Alliance, has blasted the UN Migration Pact as unacceptable while Belgium’s leader Mr Michel is keen to sign it in a move that could trigger the fall of the Belgian government. Mr de Wever said: “It’s non-binding, but will that serve as an argument in court? The fact that the EU is no longer pursuing push back policies on refugees is the result of a court decision, not a political one.” As a result of the divide, judges in Belgium have suggested the “solution” is to add a further clause that would essentially reduce the implications of the UN pact for the EU member state. This has sparked further fury by Mr de Wever’s party, with members refusing to budge on their stance on the pact regardless of the talks.

This has sparked outrage by Mr Michel, who raged: “It’s not impossible to find a solution!”
Belgium is not the only nation to disagree on the controversial pact which would not only make immigration a human right, but also see those who challenge it jailed for committing hate crime.
The document has been boycotted by Italy, France, Poland, Israel, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Australia, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria which have all rejected the proposals in favour of tougher border controls.

Slovakian and Bulgarian authorities followed Austria, Israel, Poland, Australia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, and other free nations in announcing that they would not be signing up to the UN scheme. The growing list of defections comes just before the start of a key UN migration summit set to open next week in Marrakesh, Morocco. Globalists are outraged at the resistance. But the list of governments rejecting the plot is expected to keep growing.

In Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, public pressure to reject the UN scheme has been growing for weeks. Last week, the Parliament even adopted a resolution urging the government to withdraw. “Slovakia is fully sovereign in defining its own national migration policy,” reads the resolution, adding that the UN Global Compact for Migration was at odds with the nation's security and migration policy. The resolution also noted that illegal immigration is a negative phenomenon with national security risks. And so, Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini announced that he would send the objections to the UN. Bulgarian authorities also announced this week that they would reject the pact. “At this stage, the Bulgarian government believes that the decision not to join the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration protects to the fullest extent the interests of the country and its citizens,” the government press office said in a statement released on December 5.

In virtually every Western country that has not yet withdrawn, from Canada and Belgium to the Netherlands and beyond, the official opposition is rallying to stop the UN plan, too. “Canadians and Canadians alone should make decisions on who comes into our country and under what circumstances,'' Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said this week, blasting Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen and far-left Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for essentially working to erase the nation's borders. “Instead of signing international agreements that erode our sovereign right to manage our borders, the prime minister should focus on restoring order at home.'” Other lawmakers have used even more fiery rhetoric, with Conservative Michelle Rempel blasting the UN plan as a “border-erasing policy” and People's Party chief Maxime Bernier noting that it would “normalize mass migration.” In Belgium, the government may collapse as one of its parties threatens to pull out unless the UN pact is axed. And in the Netherlands, polls show far more people oppose the UN plan than support it.

The problem for globalists, though, was that Trump refused to go along with it. The U.S. government was the first to announce its withdrawal. “Today, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations informed the UN Secretary-General that the United States is ending its participation in the Global Compact on Migration,” the U.S. mission to the United Nations announced in a press release last December, just as the process was getting underway. “The New York Declaration contains numerous provisions that are inconsistent with U.S. immigration and refugee policies and the Trump Administration's immigration principles. As a result, President Trump determined that the United States would end its participation in the Compact process that aims to reach international consensus at the UN in 2018.”

Belgium has joined the list of countries that are rebelling against their elected leadership. Over the weekend the Belgian government fell over Prime Minister Charles Michel’s trip to Morocco to sign the United Nations Migration Agreement. The agreement made no distinction between legal and illegal migrants and regarded immigration as a positive phenomenon. The Belgian people apparently did not agree. Facebook registered 1,200 Belgians agreeing that the Prime Minister was a traitor. Some users expressed concern for their children’s futures, noting that Belgian democracy is dead. Others said they would get yellow vests and join the protests.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel rushed to reshuffle his government and stave off its collapse Sunday morning as his tenuous pact with Flemish nationalists finally reached a breaking point over an international migration pact.
King Philippe of Belgium on Sunday allowed Michel to reorganize his government without the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA). The party's objection to the U.N. Global Compact on Migration forced the ruling coalition to break apart Saturday night.



Michel replaced ministers from the N-VA, including Interior Minister Jan Jambon and Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Theo Francken, local media reported.
Health Minister Maggie De Block, a liberal, will take over the migration portfolio, and Pieter De Crem, from the CD&V party, will take over as interior minister, L'Echo reported Sunday. De Block, who was in charge of migration during a previous government, immediately announced plans to dismantle Francken’s policies, telling De Morgen that reversing the limits he placed on asylum applications would be a “first step.”
Michel will remain in place as prime minister for now. But his "orange-blue" coalition doesn't have a parliamentary majority without the Flemish nationalists, raising the possibility he may not be able to finish his mandate. Belgium faces regional, federal and European elections in May.
The minority government would provide “continuity” until those elections, Michel said. During an interview with RTL, Michel said he has no intention of calling for a vote of confidence in the parliament. He warned MPs that calling for an early election could “very well block the country for more than a year.”
The “orange-blue” coalition will focus on the economy, security and climate change, Michel said during a press conference on Sunday.
The N-VA on Saturday formally broke ranks over the U.N. migration compact, an international agreement the Belgian parliament, minus the N-VA and far-right Vlaams Belang, has committed to signing but that has attracted strong criticism from right and far-right parties across Europe.

The streets of Brussels turned violent on Sunday after thousands of Flemish right-wing parties called for a march against a UN migration pact signed in Marrakech last week, according to the BBC.
Approximately 5,500 anti-immigration protesters came out in force against the pact- chanting various slogans such as "our people first" , "no jihad in our state" and "Brussels rats," while around 1,000 counter-protesters from left-wing groups showed up to oppose the march. Police fired tear gas and a water cannon as violence broke out between the groups, throwing fences and stones.

The pact, signed last week by 164 countries - however it was rejected by the United States and several European countries including Austria, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Slovakia - which refused to formally adopt the agreement.

The deal, which is not legally binding, seeks an international approach to migration that "reaffirms the sovereign rights of states to determine their national migration policy" and asserts the "fundamental" importance of legal migration.
But critics in Europe believe it will lead to increased immigration to the continent. -BBC

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has announced his country’s withdrawal from the United Nations Global Compact for Migration just days after taking office.
The former military officer, dubbed “Trump of the Tropics,” followed the American president’s lead in rejecting the highly-controversial agreement and fulfilled his vow to reverse the course set by outgoing President Michel Temer’s administration, which joined over 160 others in signing on to the pact at a summit in Morocco last month.


Bolsonaro announced the pull-out in a series of tweets, confirming reports that the Brazilian Foreign Ministry had already ordered diplomats to inform the UN of the decision.
“Brazil is sovereign to decide whether or not to accept migrants,” Bolsonaro tweeted in Portuguese. “Anyone who comes here must be subject to our laws, rules and customs, as well as sing our anthem and respect our culture. It is not just anyone who enters our house, nor will anyone enter Brazil via a pact adopted by third parties. NO TO THE MIGRATION PACT.”

Bolsonaro issued additional statements on the matter, including a comprehensive declaration translated into English.
“We will never refuse help to those who need it, but immigration cannot become an indiscriminate act,” he said. “Criteria are needed, seeking the best solution according to the reality of each country. It is imperative for us to establish proper criteria for each country.”
“If we control those who enter our homes, why should it be any different with Brazil as a nation? Defending our national sovereignty has been a key part of our campaign and it is now a priority of our government. We shall establish rules without external influence, seeking to better the lives of those who reside legally in Brazil – citizen or immigrant alike.”
