Dozens continue to attempt to cross the border daily.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Tusk said he would present the new migration policy at a government meeting on 15 October.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">\u201cOne of the elements of the migration strategy will be the temporary territorial suspension of the right to asylum,\u201d the prime minister said. \u201cI will demand this, I will demand recognition in Europe for this decision,\u201d he added. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Under international law, countries are obliged to offer people the right to claim asylum. Tusk did not say how he would justify the move to his EU partners.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">\u201cWe know very well how it is used by Lukashenko, Putin\u2026 by people smugglers, people traffickers, how this right to asylum is used exactly against the essence of the right to asylum,\u201d he said. \u201cPoland must take back 100% control over who comes to Poland,\u201d he added.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Many of the migrants who cross into the country from Belarus do not stay, instead entering Germany. The trend has prompted Berlin to introduce checks on its border with Poland.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Tusk\u2019s pro-EU coalition government surprised many by continuing a hard-line migration policy implemented by the previous right-wing Law and Justice government, which authorised pushbacks and built a 5.5-metre-high steel fence along 186km (115 miles) of its border with Belarus.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure>\n<div data-component=\"image-block\" class=\"sc-18fde0d6-0 jFCfG\">\n<div data-testid=\"image\" class=\"sc-a34861b-1 jxzoZC\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/bbcx\/grey-placeholder.png\" class=\"sc-a34861b-0 cOpVbP hide-when-no-script\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1280px) 50vw, (min-width: 1008px) 66vw, 96vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/240\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp 240w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/320\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp 320w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp 480w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/640\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp 640w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/800\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp 800w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/1024\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp 1024w,https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/1536\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp 1536w\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/d264\/live\/0d27b960-88b5-11ef-81f8-1f28bcc5be15.jpg.webp\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Reuters Migrants sit in the forest, after crossing the Belarusian-Polish border, June 2024\" class=\"sc-a34861b-0 efFcac\"\/><span class=\"sc-a34861b-2 fxQYxK\">Reuters<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"sc-8353772e-0 cvNhQw\">Dozens of people attempt to cross into Poland every day, with many continuing on to Germany<!-- --><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\" class=\"sc-18fde0d6-0 dlWCEZ\">\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">While it talked tough on migrants from Middle Eastern and Asian countries, the Law and Justice-led government issued the highest number of annual residence and work permits in the whole of the EU during much of its time in office.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Tusk\u2019s coalition has continued the policy of pushbacks and re-introduced an exclusion zone on part of the border.
