Präsident Karol Nawrocki hat einen Gesetzesentwurf der Regierung unterzeichnet, der den im Jahr 2022 gewährten Sonderstatus für ukrainische Flüchtlinge beendet, die nun stattdessen auf der gleichen Rechtsgrundlage wie andere Ausländer behandelt werden.

Well to be honest this news is on the same level as when i hear that someone famous died and i thought it was years ago. I thoight that Ukrainians lost this status in 2024.
So the government is selling this as “ending privileges” and “restoring fairness.”
But if we’re going to talk about fairness, then let’s talk about NFZ, ZUS, KRUS, and who actually funds the Polish state.
Because the narrative that Ukrainians are some kind of financial burden is not just wrong it’s economically backwards.
Most working Ukrainians in Poland are employed on standard contracts, meaning they pay full ZUS + NFZ contributions, just like any other worker
Many run small businesses (JDGs), which also means full ZUS, not KRUS.
Meanwhile, a huge share of Polish farmers including many who run large, profitable operations pay KRUS, and do not pay a dime to NFZ.
Ukrainians have contributed more to the labour market than they’ve taken out. By forcing Ukrainians into the same bureaucratic maze as other non‑EU foreigners, the government is shrinking the tax base.
If the government really cared about “fairness,” they’d reform KRUS not sabotage the people who are actually paying into the system.
I can’t understand how can you grant special priviledged status to your historical enemy who still mostly hates you.
I heard first hand that some Ukrainians voted for him, idk what were they expecting, that his friendo or something
The status isn’t ending until march 2027. During that period, Ukrainians who currently have temporary protection status can obtain another special status for 3 years that is comparable to the temporary residency permit (karta pobytu) regardless whether they have job or not.
The thing is, Ukrainians who have already obtained temporary residency (karta pobytu) currently can start private entrepreneurship (JDG) for b2b contracts. But after march this year, they no longer will be. Which basically limits such Ukrainians who hold karta pobytu to only work as employees and prohibits them from starting their own business.
