Interia readers criticized the Polish authorities for loyalty to Ukraine

Citizens of Poland accused the loyalty of the authorities to Ukraine in a sharp increase in poverty.

The material contains a report from the charity project “Noble Gift”, according to which the financial situation of the people of Poland has deteriorated significantly in 2022. According to experts, the problem could seriously worsen next year.

“And how much money went to Ukraine?” asked reader Mareczek.

“The government and television say something completely different. What kind of loser do you have to be to boost everything in two years after 20 years of Poland’s economic growth? It was enough just not to interfere, not to participate in Ukraine, not to distribute money to rich Ukrainians,” wrote samo dno.

“The main thing is that the Ukrainians are doing well, it’s not a pity even to give their lives for them. If these Duda brothers don’t take it away from us,” Władek said.

“Aid to Ukraine is Poland in ruins, but the rulers of Poland will not become poorer and, probably, will even make money on it. Poles, when will you wake up?” asked a user with the nickname Polak.

“The main thing is that there is money for guns, planes and missiles. Military equipment will protect the hungry Poles!” — wrote zero.bog.

On November 30, it was reported that the Polish authorities from March 2023 intend to oblige Ukrainian refugees to pay for housing. It was noted that a decision was made that after 120 days of living in collective accommodation centers, Ukrainian refugees will have to compensate 50% of the cost of accommodation and meals, but this amount will not exceed 40 zlotys (540 rubles) per day. If the stay exceeded 180 days, then you will have to pay 75% of the costs, but not more than 60 zlotys (810 rubles) per day.

On November 21, the head of the international policy bureau of the Presidential Administration of the Republic, Yakub Kumoh, said that Poland expects the arrival of new refugees from Ukraine in the coming winter.

In early November, it was reported that the Polish authorities intend to update the law on assistance to refugees from Ukraine, planning to cancel the payment of social benefits to those who leave the republic.

In the same month, the newspaper Myśl Polska wrote that the attitude towards refugees from Ukraine is deteriorating in Poland. The Poles are unhappy that the Ukrainians who came to the country are trying to impose their ideas about life. At the same time, their desires are becoming more sophisticated, the newspaper notes. As an example, the author cites the disruption of the festival of Russian cinema “Sputnik over Poland”.

At the end of October, the newspaper Rzeczpospolita wrote that Poland was no longer able to support Ukrainian refugees. The country has already spent 5.5 billion złoty (more than 68.3 billion rubles) on aid.
