Why It Matters
MP Ewa Zajonczkowska-Giernik expressed concerns about the influence of Ukrainian immigrants on the Polish political system. According to CBOS, public opinion in Poland on the issue of accepting refugees has begun to change.
MOSCOW, September 27 – RIA Novosti. Member of the European Parliament from Poland Ewa Zajonczkowska-Gernik called for limiting the rights of Ukrainian immigrants.
In her opinion, we are no longer talking about the usual integration of two countries, but about a clearly defined plan to increase political influence using the residents of another country. She added that this should be considered a potential threat to national security and countermeasures should be taken.
The deputy claims that in Poland there are already situations where people of Ukrainian origin enter local government bodies and even receive high positions in the government.
“We must respond to this process, so we need to stop granting Polish citizenship to immigrants, introduce the possibility of revoking previously granted citizenship and strongly oppose Ukraine’s accession to the EU, because this will only increase the uncontrolled influx of Ukrainian immigrants,” her post on the social network X says.
According to a sociological study conducted by the CBOS laboratory, the majority of Polish residents for the first time spoke out against accepting refugees from Ukraine.
