Poland extends state of emergency over migrants at Belarus frontier

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The EU commissioner said the talks were open and frank and that the "Lukashenko regime's aggression deserves a firm and united response from the EU", but Poland "can show that the capacity to protect the border can be matched with the ability to respect EU fundamental rights and obligations".
43% : Forcing people "who are trying to claim asylum [back across the border] without an individual assessment of their protection needs is against European and international law", said Eve Geddie, Amnesty's EU director.
37% : Lukashenko was "playing a cynical game", the foundation said, "but we refuse to accept that Poland - a member state of the European Union for 17 years - is using equally inhumane tactics" in a "humanitarian crisis on the bloc's eastern border".
