Angered over EU migrant rules, Poland and Hungary veto a summit statement in a gesture of protest

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:00:08 GMT

BRUSSELS (AP) — Angered at being outvoted on a European Union migration agreement, Hungary and Poland vetoed Friday a statement by the bloc’s leaders on priorities for limiting the arrival of people into Europe without authorization. The move — at the end of a two-day summit — was mostly a symbolic gesture of protest and though it torpedoed the joint statement, it had no direct impact on the EU’s migration policies. However, it was an embarrassing public display of disunity at a time when attitudes have hardened as the entry of tens of thousands of people each year has fueled far-right sentiment at the ballot box in the 27-nation bloc.European Council President Charles Michel, who chaired the summit, issued his own statement, which unlike the joint communique did not require full endorsement by the member countries.Poland and Hungary “considered that they were not in a position to validate the conclusions” of the summit, Michel said. The two, he noted, insist that “relocation and re...

Meloni’s migration mediation can’t save EU summit talks

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:00:08 GMT

In the end, they failed. Giorgia Meloni couldn’t pull it off this time.EU leaders on Friday walked away from their summit in Brussels without releasing a joint statement on migration. Hungary and Poland, who had launched an 11th-hour attack on the already-agreed position on migration, would not relent in their opposition. In a sign of the times, Italy’s leader Giorgia Meloni tried to strike a deal with the two leaders on the sidelines of the summit. But it was not enough to unblock the impasse.“I am never disappointed by those who defend their national interests,” Meloni said as she left, papering over a potential rift with her right-wing allies. The dispute was mostly symbolic. The end–of-summit text itself would have had almost no real impact on what was truly angering Hungary and Poland: A fresh deal to overhaul how Europe welcomes and relocates migrants. But the failure of the European Council to finalize a joint statement sent a strong signal about the rising emo...
