Can Germany break international law? Because most of the “asylum seekers” go straight for the German border, on which they setup border checks to stop them in Poland. But you won’t see an article about that, huh
And yet they are doing it, keeping the people that Russia and Belarus are pushing onto Poland inside Poland. So they can do it no problem it seems, don’t see many articles about that.
They’ve been doing it since before the war started in Ukraine.
Unfortunately, there is a key distinguishing factor, as this was an explicit tactic by Belarus to hurt the EU by trying to overload it with asylum seekers (a lot of which were just tourists who wanted a cheap trip to Belarus and didn’t expect to get forced into Poland at gun point).
There was a movie about the situation, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Border (which compares the handling unfavorably to the refugee situation caused by the war in Ukraine).
Ideally an agency of the EU would be able to directly step in here and vet and accept genuine asylum seekers and refugees (and transport them to other EU members to lower the burden on Poland) while allowing the rest to be given tickets home.
