The spokesperson for the Polish government, Adam Szlapka, announced that after four years of crisis, Poland will move from temporary regulations to permanent solutions for aid intended for Ukrainian citizens. The bill to be sent to parliament repeals most of the specific rights that Ukrainians benefited from in terms of social benefits, housing, and medical assistance, maintaining only certain protections, such as those regarding legal residency.
Criticism has come from employers' associations, which argue that this measure could affect the labor market, considering that Ukrainians represent 66% of the foreign workforce in Poland. Additionally, the image of Ukrainians has deteriorated among Poles, with a recent survey showing that only 48% of them approve of aid for refugees, while 46% disapprove. The Polish president, Karol Nawrocki, stated that he will not sign any special assistance law for Ukrainian citizens.
