L’opposizione all’accoglienza dei rifugiati ucraini raggiunge il livello più alto di sempre in Polonia

Please come to Sweden instead. We will help you, and we need some European refugees.

Interesting, poles are literally next on the chopping block and still are busy with their typical shenanigans. Disgusting.

Funny stuff they’ve stopped reporting on sex of a respondent – every time i remember them reporting on that, women were more against Ukrainian refugees than men.

The proportion of Poles opposed to accepting Ukrainian refugees has risen to 46%, the highest level ever recorded in regular polling by state research agency CBOS.

The findings follow other recent surveys and political developments indicating that sentiment is turning against Ukrainian refugees, almost one million of whom still live in Poland.

In 2015, shortly after Russia began supporting separatists in eastern Ukraine and annexed Crimea, CBOS began asking Poles: “Should, in your opinion, Poland accept Ukrainian refugees from areas affected by the conflict?”

In the years 2015 to 2018, around 55-60% of Poles were consistently in favour, with around 30-40% opposed. The surveys then resumed in March 2022, after Russia’s full-scale invasion. At that time, a record 94% supported accepting refugees, with only 3% opposed.

Since then, however, support has been gradually falling and opposition rising. In CBOS’s latest report, published today, 48% were in favour of accepting Ukrainian refugees and 46% were opposed.

“These are the worst results in the history of our survey, which began shortly after the annexation of Crimea over a decade ago,” note the authors of the report.

CBOS’s latest findings show that opposition to accepting Ukrainian refugees is more common in rural areas (59%) than in the largest cities (27%) and among people with the lowest level of education (62%) compared to university graduates (26%).

Likewise, people who practise religion (57%) are more opposed to receiving Ukrainian refugees than those who do not (38%), as are people with the lowest level of income (57%) compared to the highest earners (18%).

Support for accepting refugees is highest among voters of The Left (78%) and the centrist Civic Coalition (KO, 70%), two members of Poland’s ruling coalition.

Opposition is highest among the radical-right Confederation of the Polish Crown (KKP, 69%), national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS, 61%) and far-right Confederation (54%), all of which are in opposition.

After the Russian invasion, millions of refugees from Ukraine fled to Poland. Many then moved on to other countries, while some eventually returned to Ukraine.

The latest EU data show that there are around 965,000 Ukrainian refugees still in Poland, second only to Germany (1.2 million). In relation to population, Poland (26.4 Ukrainian refugees per 1,000 people) also has the second-highest figure, behind the Czech Republic (36.0 per 1,000 people).

In addition, Poland has hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian residents not classified as refugees, who are largely economic migrants but also include students.

PiS pro-Putin propaganda seems to be working. Pity.

Honestly, I can’t blame them, even though they share lot of the same culture it is going to put pressure on welfare system, the budget, healthcare, education etc. This may not be resources that Poland has.

Would be preferably both for the West and Ukraines sake that the refugees stay in the safer areas of Ukraine rather than emigrate and put pressure on our struggling systems, it’s more efficient to give aid in one place than the entirety of Europe.

> Ukrainian immigrants pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits, a report by Poland’s National Development Bank has concluded.
The research also indicated that Ukrainians contribute between 0.5% and 2.4% to Poland’s annual GDP growth.

Poland grew because it is the biggest recipient of the monetary aid within EU (Thanks to Germoney) and because Ukrainian refugees are net beneficial to the country. 

But let’s blame Ukrainians and also let’s not forget to demand reparations from Germany, again.

Man look at you guys. When a country stands up for its own interests you guys turn on them instantly and call it the effect of Russian propaganda….

How such a huge chunk of European population sheepishly follow what the elites say and work against their own interests shows how fragile things really are
