The European Union is deeply divided over its proposed migration reform, with Poland and Hungary being the only two member states to have opposed it. The reform aims to share out responsibilities for arriving asylum seekers across all member states, but Poland and Hungary have argued that it would be unfair to force them to take in more migrants.
EU split over migration reform Poland and Hungary
The opposition from Poland and Hungary has left the EU split on the issue of migration. The other 25 member states have all agreed to the reform, but they cannot implement it without the unanimous approval of all member states. This means that the reform is in danger of being blocked, which would leave the EU without a clear plan for dealing with the issue of migration.

The EU is facing a growing challenge from migration, with approximately 250,000 individuals having entered EU territory through non-standard border entry points within the current year. This is putting a strain on the EU’s resources and is also leading to social tensions in some member states.
The EU needs to find a solution to the issue of migration that is fair to all member states. The proposed reform is a step in the right direction, but it is important to address the concerns of Poland and Hungary. The EU should also work to strengthen its external borders and to find ways to reduce the number of people who are fleeing their homes in the first place.
