'Muslim migrants are destroying European culture' - Poland's former prime minister | Interview

Poland’s former prime minister has warned European culture is being “destroyed” by Muslim migrants from Africa and the Middle East. Speaking to The Telegraph, Mateusz Morawiecki, who served as Poland’s prime minister from 2017 until the beginning of this month, said: “We were very open to war refugees from Ukraine when the need was there… We have opened our hearts and our gates for all refugees.” “But this is very much different from the huge [amounts of] Muslim migrants from the Middle East who are coming to Germany and France and other countries and who want to change the culture of those countries, those nations.” “I am clearly opposed to such attempts. I'm admiring [of] French culture, Spanish culture and British culture, but I also admire my Polish culture and I want to preserve it, I want to nurture it.” “I don't want it to be destroyed by the Muslim migrants coming from the Middle East or from Africa.” Mr Morawiecki condemned the EU’s latest migration pact, agreed by Brussels on 20 December, which would relocate migrants across the continent and impose fines on countries who refuse to accept their share of people.
