WARSAW, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Poland cannot accept migrants under European Union (EU) quotas after Friday's attacks in Paris, Poland's European affairs minister designate Konrad Szymanski said on Saturday.

In a commentary published in the right-leaning news portal wPolityce.pl, Szymanski said his incoming government did not agree with Poland's commitment to accept its share of an EU-wide relocation of immigrants, and now, "in the face of the tragic acts in Paris, we do not see the political possibilities to implement (this)."

Szymanski will take up his position on Monday as part of a government formed by the last month's election winner, the conservative and eurosceptic Law and Justice (PiS) party.

2. I don't blame them.

No politician will support an open door policy at this time, not if they want to get re-elected.

3. Good - I don't blame them.

4. "European Union (EU) quotas" I don't think Poland is a full member of the Union anyway.

5. Hungary is probably saying

"remember how we didn't want 10's of thousands of refugees coming in, and everyone was pissed that we were building a wall to keep them out?"

[Heeeeers Johnny]

6. Unintended or planned consequence by ISIS?

I'm guessing that ISIS would prefer the refugees remain in Syria so they can more easily
murder them.

8. The irony is I wouldn't be surprised

at least some if not most of the attackers weren't shown to be longtime 'naturalized' French citizens who have lived in Paris most of their lives...

10. They were poor refugees escaping to the west for a better life...

I knew that was a load of BS all along...good for Poland, good for Hungary.

Where is Charles Martel when you need him?

11. Poland is governed by "the conservative and eurosceptic Law and Justice (PiS) party". Not likely to

welcome refugees or immigrants before or after the Paris attacks. It's what conservatives do.

12. The Schengen treaty on open EU borders is dead.

RIP. Bad idea anyway.
