Refugees few words
That what happens on
Polish streets for several weeks makes me scared. We hear: Muslims
threaten us, so we do not let them. This violence and vulgarity bring
to mind Germany before the War. That's what says professor Michał
Buchowski- cultural anthropologist (University Adam Mickiewicz in
Poznan). I agree with him.
When it comes to the number
of refugees it's hard to compare Poland with others contries in
Europe like Germany, Italy or Great Britain where newcomers constitue
from 10 to 20 percent of population. In our contry is 1 percent what
gives 380 000 people. It's quite big number next to 12 000 refugees
which Poland could adopt.
People who fear of refugees,
they often argue with statement that only men escape and it's
suspicious. They don't know that refuge is full of torment. I can't
imagine women with their children waden through the wire. Men escape
because they are stronger and resistant. And certainly more than the
fair sex. Few can decide to travel by miserable boat with dozens of
people.
I don't understand my
compatriots. All this fundamentalist slogans are awful and I'm
ashamed for them. Poland still has a lot to learn in terms of
tolerance. We are completely ethnically homogeneous country and each
equality is seen as worse. Times are changing and Poland is becoming
an attractive country. Also for refugees. We must take this into
account.
