The findings of the survey by pollster CBOS reveal a trend of declining support for people fleeing the war that began in 2022 when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The percentage in favor of accepting refugees from Ukraine is at its lowest level (48%) since Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, while the proportion of those opposed is at its highest, at 45%.
Support for accepting refugees was lower among women (43%) than men (52%) as well as among younger pollees. Of the youngest age group (18–24), only 21% were in favor while 51% of the oldest respondents (65+) expressed support.
I’d be willing to support unconditional benefits for all Ukrainian women, children, elderly and infirm as long as all male Ukrainians go back to Ukraine to protect their country.
Exactly. Why would the country facing the biggest demographic crisis in the EU want thousands of working age productive migrants from a similar culture and language to arrive.
Wait a minute …
I agree. And Poles also should work to get their benefits.
Same as Poles xD
Most poles vote for Nawrocki so… um…yeah, about that.
It’s not stupid to have a path towards productivity, but there’s a danger in making it too symbolic.
It has to be balanced so that the refugees doesn’t sit around and settle into long term isolation or dependence. It has to be balanced to not give huge competition. It would be reasonable to give talent a way to thrive.
The work has to be needed, has to be reasonable and worth while.
Why not for free?
Everyone who wants benefits should work. We may extra help those who want to do that.
As Ukrainian, I agree. Welfare destructs society.
Legit question. Im a bit uninformed. What benefits are Ukrainians receiving? I remember when they first came to Poland, they received free housing, but that program ended a while back
I mean, how it is possible to survive in Poland not working? Asking as an Ukrainian. I think even having single working person in family in Poland seems to be extremely challenging unless it’s IT or similar high wage job.
I have to work for mine, so they too
Well… It seems for me that most of them already do.
