EU Leaders Clash Over Migration Policy as Hungary and Poland Protest

Hungary and Poland criticized the European Union's migration policy, accusing the bloc of imposing a migration "diktat" and forcing through a deal without their consent. The EU summit in Granada aims to address the increasing number of refugees and migrants arriving in Europe outside of regular border crossings. However, member states remain divided on how to share the responsibility of providing for those who make the journey. Last week, a deal on handling irregular immigration was reached, but Poland and Hungary's opposition raises doubts about the effectiveness of any final agreement. The issue of migration is politically sensitive, with anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies on the rise in some EU countries ahead of the European Parliament elections next year.
