Suspending the right to asylum violates constitutional principles and international obligations. This drastic measure will push vulnerable migrants into the hands of smugglers and exacerbate their already precarious situation. Instead of addressing the root causes of migration, this policy criminalizes those seeking safety and protection.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 50% chance that Poland's Economist Democracy Index will be 7.12 in 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
