Szydlo said Poland needs to firstly think about the security of Polish citizens and called on other European countries to refuse migrants coming for wealth because people who have arrived on their shores are fleeing the same terror that has struck several EU countries. She criticized open door policy on refugees as a careless decision, adding that EU hasn’t drawn any lessons from the Paris attacks.

Earlier the ruling Law and Justice Party in Poland agreed to welcome 7,000 refugees, a plan approved by the previous government.

Poland was the first EU member to refuse EU refugee quota system after attacks to the Brussels airport and subway station.
