President Nawrocki rejects migration as cure for Poland’s growing demographic crisis

6 minutes read

"Migration pressure in Western Europe has not solved the problem but has brought ghettoisation, integration challenges and social unrest".

Poland’s opposition Conservatives (PiS) aligned President Karol Nawrocki has said that his country should tackle its demographic crisis by supporting families rather than relying on mass migration.

Speaking at the Poland Future Summit event in Warsaw on June 22 Nawrocki argued that migration had failed to solve demographic challenges in Western Europe but simply created social and economic problems with which these countries are now struggling. 

He said both Poland and the rest of Europe were facing a demographic crisis marked by declining birth rates and an inability to replace aging generations.
