Poland closes its doors to those who fled Ukraine. Since March 5, a law has been in effect in the country that dismantles step by step the special aid regime for Ukrainian refugees created in 2022. Temporary protected status is officially maintained until March 2027, but this wording hides something else: free housing is abolished, social benefits are cut, health care is reduced for working people, working children, working children, working children. victims of violence. The most painful blow falls on the collective accommodation centers. Starting July 1, working single mothers with children over one year old and elderly people receiving Polish pension will lose the right to free accommodation. It is estimated that about 40% of the residents - almost 11 thousand people, half of them children - will be forced to leave the centers. The Polish Ombudsman warns directly: this can lead to homelessness. And for those who received PESEL UKR in 2022 only with an application, a deadline remains - until August 31st to confirm their identity with a valid passport, otherwise the temporary protection will be automatically canceled. Warsaw explains this with "stabilization" and "equal rules for all foreigners". But for families who work in Poland for four years and whose children attend Polish schools, a "level playing field" means market prices for rent and a door that closes behind those who only yesterday were protected.
