The European Union’s (EU) bullying of Poland has continued even after President Trump's rousing speech in Warsaw. They now give Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary just one month to accept migrants from the Middle East and North Africa or face legal consequences.

Breitbart London reports that "the migrant relocation scheme was forced through the European Parliament in September 2015, regardless as to whether all nations and their populations agreed."

Since several Eastern and Central European nations did not vote for the plan, they have challenged the EU in court. They now face sanctions if they do not comply.

“There is still time to change everything and come back to normality,” said EU Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos on Wednesday 26 July.

More from Breitbart:

The decision comes on the same day that an advocate general for the Court of Justice of the European Union said that the forced relocation plan was legal under EU law.

The policy did not need to be agreed on unanimously thanks to a mechanism called ‘qualified majority voting’, which weighs decisions in favour of larger nations such as Germany and France.

Last month, the outspoken prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, said if Brussels tries “to force the relocation programme on us at our next upcoming summit… I’ll exercise my veto.”

In October last year, 95 per cent of Hungarian voters rejected the migrant redistribution plan in a referendum called by Mr. Orbán.

Poland has vowed to follow and also hold a referendum on the issue, and the nation’s interior minister, Mariusz Blaszczak, said in May that taking in 6,000 asylum seekers would “certainly be much worse” for Poland than the threat of EU punishment.

The original intention of the plan was to alleviate the pressure on Italy and Greece by sending 120,000 migrants to various countries in the EU. Less than 20,000 have moved so far.

During his visit to the battered nation last month, President Trump defended Poland's actions as a righteous defense of the West. His full speech can be seen above.
