The fresh Czech Government is to prepare to reject the European Union's migration and asylum pact, and this is to be 1 of its first decisions after taking power. This means breaking with Brussels' pro-immigration policy and centralised management.
Karel Havlíček, Vice-President of the ANO Party, who gained the top support in this year's elections, confirmed that Prague would refuse to participate in the "monerism mechanism" which, in accordance with the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, obliges associate States to adopt a certain number of migrants or to contribute a advanced financial amount to aid another countries manage migration flows.
The pact is due to enter into force next June. However, the Czech MP powerfully stated that his country would "not submit to the European Union" on migration policy. He pointed out that politicians were accountable to their voters and so the fresh coalition – consisting of ANO, the Anti-immigration Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) organization and the Anti-Bruxsel Drivers' Movement – recognised the rejection of the Pact on Migration and Asylum as 1 of the first decisions he would take after taking power. Czech politicians besides announce strengthening border protection.
The SPD leader, Tomio Okamura, even called for stricter rules on issuing residence permits and introducing a regulation whereby any foreigner convicted of a crime will be revoked.
On the another hand, the exclusion of Poland from the EU's "project to relocate illegal migrants" wants president Karol Nawrocki. For this intent he wrote a letter to the president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, stressing: “Poland, first and foremost, Poles”. The president of our country recalled that we have accepted millions of Ukrainian refugees and we cannot accept further commitments.
Dutch and Hungarians besides requested that the migration pact be excluded. Budapest threatened to reconstruct national border control to halt illegal arrivals. In turn, the European Commission has announced legal steps against countries refusing to implement the Pact.
The erstwhile Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, who is likely to lead another government after the fresh ANO election victory, considered the pact to be "the top betrayal" against the Czech Republic in modern history, accusing Brussels of undermining national security, culture and social stability.
The Mediterranean Pact proposed by the European Commission on 16 October 2025 is allegedly intended to aid deal with the influx of migrants from Africa, who first go to countries in the south of Europe. The EC wants to make a common Mediterranean space in the region and increase the number of investments in the countries of Africa, which is expected to stimulate the improvement of these countries and improve their economical situation. However, it turns out that financial resources for African countries would contribute to development... alleged green investments, specified as renewable energy sources.
Ultimately, the pact is to be approved in November 2025.
