As Poland heads into a presidential election on May 18, with a second round expected June 1, the growing fatigue with helping Ukrainians has become so noticeable that some of the candidates have judged that they can win more votes by vowing less help for Ukrainians.
gross.
fatigue with helping ukrainians
people not liking seeing non-poles in the streets, kindergartens, and schools
Love me some opportunism to appease reactionaries and get them to vote for you. Many such cases!
Though to be fair, the exact same sentiment is here in Lithuania, people hating Ukrainians cause they earn more while doing less or so the narrative goes, and it’s one of those issues that people complain about but don’t actually expect to be solved. Whoever gets into office likely won’t act on their campaign promises to put “poles first”, unless they really want to play into the whole “nationalistic hero batting for the cultural community of the nation” shtick.
Even with less help they would be doing more than others. If they’re taking care of current refugees I don’t blame them at all for taking in less in the future.
Both poles or just the one where santa lives?
The one where fascism lives
After the Nazis and Soviets, you’d think Poland of all places would know better than this shit
Masses of desperate people have a short memory… Ask me how I know (Romanian)…
