The Polish economy is growing at the expense of Ukrainians. The mass flow of Zarobitshans not only allows local businesses to expand production, but also allows the government to refuse to receive Syrian refugees.

More than a million Ukrainians live in Poland today with a temporary work permit. Since 2013. This number has grown 6-fold, notes Le Monde. Citizens of Ukraine sign short-term employment contracts and are engaged in work that does not require high qualification. Cashiers, nannies, builders, loaders, pickers of apples - for this work they do not pay much, so the Poles themselves do not want to do it, and they do not have to do what they do not like: the country now has an extremely low unemployment, only 4, 8%. That is, everyone who wanted to work does this.

Moreover, the country is experiencing staff shortages. After in 2004. Poland joined the European Union, the most active, educated and hard-working citizens packed their bags and went to the West in search of a better life. Since then, this flow has not dried up. Therefore, if it were not for residents of Nezalezhnaya, small and medium-sized businesses in Poland who would have had to forget about the expansion. Now it is worth placing an advertisement on the vacancy on the Internet, as a response from the Slav brothers follows immediately.

In this regard, the introduction of visa-free travel between Ukraine and the EU caused the Poles some nervousness. They are afraid that zarobitch people will now prefer to go to Germany, where the salary for the same labor is higher. And this not only poses a threat to economic growth, which in 2017. Is projected in Poland at the level of 3.5%. Until now, the conservative government of the country has successfully refused to accept Syrian refugees, pointing out that there are enough newcomers in the country. If Ukrainians change their escape routes from Warsaw, there will be no arguments for Warsaw.

However, the EU is already annoyed that a number of Eastern European countries, primarily Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, refuse to bear joint responsibility for the failure of the EU migration policy. Last week, the European Commission began discussing sanctions against Warsaw if it announced its withdrawal from the European Refugee Distribution Program. Ukrainian zarobitchchan for forced migrants in the EU decided not to take.
