Poland took in not million but 183 refugees from Ukraine. (data from april 2017)
The million people you're talking about are no refugees, they are cheap labour. They're allowed to stay only as long as they keep their jobs. And they're free to go to any other country in EU.
To say that Poland's (and other central European countries) refusal to take in refugees from the Middle East is not driven by racism is to delude yourself. Some politics bluntly only agree to take in Christians. Not to mention that those countries are even willing to pay fines, just to keep these people away.
Refusal to take in refugees is not an act of non-solidarity with Germany. It's mainly a not-solidarity with Greece, Italy, Spain - countries who deal with this issue for years, and for years pledged for help.
- bbv-if 9y agoDon't confuse migrant workers and refugees. Poland has profited greatly from the ukrainian workers.
