Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has indicated that his country will no longer comply with the Dublin Regulation, an EU legal act that allows asylum seekers to be returned to the member state in which they first applied for protection.

Such a move would mark a further escalation in the Polish government’s increasingly tough line on migrants and asylum seekers. Tusk’s announcement prompted the European Commission to remind Poland that “all member states are required to fully comply with current asylum rules”.

        Most of the western media were describing them like that. Maybe it was too depressing for them to see that this big win for democracy was simply moving from populist right to a better dressed populist right. It’s a taste of things to come for other countries that fell to autocracy.

        Sometimes I think Tusk fooled not only Poles but EU elites too, but sometimes I think all of them want to be deceived because they don’t care.
