Czechia Rebels Against Open Borders

Driving the day... 

Czechia is following in the footsteps of Poland and Hungary. In Prague, the country’s incoming coalition government is preparing to reject the EU’s Pact on Migration and Asylum—particularly the “solidarity mechanism,” which forces member states to either take in a quota of migrants or pay cash. This marks a clean shot across Brussels’s bow. 

Karel Havlíček, deputy leader of the sovereignist ANO party, declared: “We will not be governed by the European Union. We will respect certain rules that apply there, but we are accountable to our voters.” On top of this, the SPD—ANO’s coalition partner—has suggested implementing harsher rules around residence permits, as well as revoking the residency permits of any foreigner who commits a crime. 

In taking such a stance, Czechia joins other Central European nations in pushing back against the European Union’s control and its obsession with open borders. Hungary has also requested to opt out of the migration pact, meanwhile Polish president Karol Nawrocki has written to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen to be exempt from what he called “the EU’s “illegal migrants relocation project.” 

The European Commission has threatened to take legal action against states that refuse to implement the pact. And it certainly has form when it comes to punishing the likes of Hungary and Poland for their ‘disobedience.’ Czechia will have to decide whether incurring Brussels’s wrath is better or worse than the consequences of uncontrolled mass migration.

In this episode of The Forge, Harrison hosts a debate on Margaret Thatcher's life and legacy to mark the Iron Lady's centenary. Lord Charles Moore believes that Thatcher saved Britain through principled leadership and urgent economic reforms. William Clouston counters that, in treating Britain too much like a profit-seeking enterprise, she did abiding damage to social cohesion and national identity. Who is correct?
