The head of Poland’s Presidential Bureau for International Policy, Marcin Przydacz, has said that his country is “on the verge” of no longer being able to accept refugees from Ukraine indefinitely. He said this on the air of RMF24, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports
According to him, the country should now focus on the integration and adaptation of those Ukrainian citizens who are already on its territory.
Przydacz noted that Warsaw should direct resources to help Ukrainians in the process of inculturation and social involvement in Polish society.
He emphasized that an excessive number of newcomers could exceed the country’s capacity to integrate migrants. In particular, he believes that separate migrant neighborhoods are already forming in Poland.
“When the scale exceeds the possibilities of inculturation, problems begin. We do not want such problems in Poland. I think we are already on the verge of not being able to accept any more,” the presidential administration representative emphasized.
Przydacz added that an excessive influx of new refugees could exceed Poland’s ability to integrate them.
In the context of migration, he emphasized that Poland is open to accepting war refugees, but the decision to accept migrants should be made by the state, not imposed by EU institutions.
He noted that each country has the right to decide whether to accept such migrants permanently or only to support them, for example, by providing support to refugees on the spot.
