Authorities force refugees to sign a chiropractor, children thrown out, pensioners deferred for a month

In Poland, authorities have imposed new requirements on Ukrainian refugees staying in collective accommodation centers (OZZ), requiring them to sign a declaration acknowledging their impending loss of residency rights. This has led to the potential eviction of children and elderly individuals who cannot meet the new conditions. The situation has sparked criticism, particularly from Joanna Jesis-Polewska, head of a private OZZ in Gorzów Wielkopolski, who refuses to comply with the policy and plans to fight against what she calls an 'inhuman' approach. While the government has temporarily delayed the enforcement of the policy for retirees by one month, the conditions remain harsh, including restrictions on employment and the requirement that adult family members in Poland provide financial support. Some local authorities have begun negotiating temporary solutions, but the overall policy remains controversial.
