– This will be the most important change in law in recent years. Polish citizens must have priority in queues to doctors and clinics – announces Karol Nawrocki in one of his election spots. On Sunday, politicians commented on the ideas of the Law and Justice candidate.

Last week, a spot appeared in the social media of Karol Nawrocki, in which the PiS candidate in the presidential election announces priority to doctors for Polish citizens and limiting social benefits for Ukrainians. – This will be the most important change in law in recent years. Polish citizens must have priority in queues to doctors and clinics. In schools and kindergartens – Polish children. We must introduce no subsidies to Ukrainian and others pensionsand social benefits will be primarily for Poles – says Nawrocki on the recording.

– I will provide this actions to the parliament. Let's help others, but let's take care of our own citizens. If I become president, I will be guided by a simple but important rule. First of all, Poland. First of all, Poles – says the PiS candidate.

On Sunday, Nawrocki's spot was commented on by the guests of the “Coffee na bench” program on TVN24: Monika Rosa (Civic Coalition), Aleksandra Leo (Poland 20250), Marcin Horała (Law and Justice), Daria Gosek-Popiołek (left), Andrzej Zybertowicz (Chancellery of President Andrzej Duda), Stanisław Tyszka (Confederation).

“This caused a serious decrease in Poles' sympathy for Ukrainians”

PiS MP, asked about the words of his grouping, assessed that “if someone is in a state of direct threat, serious health threat or life threatening, he is simply saved.” In his opinion, the Nawrocki spot is about “comparable situations”. – For example, there is a preventive examination for which there is a queue and you have to wait in this queue, and everyone is waiting – explained the PiS MP. When asked if in such a situation Ukrainians should be accepted at the end of the queue, he replied: – Yes, because Polish taxpayers pay (…) if the resource is limited, then there must be some criterion.

In turn, in the opinion of the confederation of Stanisław Tyszka, “Poles are officially discriminated against in their own country.” In his opinion, discrimination is to apply to, among others access to health protection.

Prof. Andrzej Zybertowicz pointed out that Nawrocki could be guided by some “social moods”. – State husband sometimes has to oppose certain trends of social moods. And the pressure of the election campaign seems to have its rights – he admitted.

Zybertowicz also said that “the management of the Ukrainian state behaved as if it underestimated the importance and pace of Polish help.” “I think this caused a serious decrease in Poles' sympathy for Ukrainians,” he said.

“I haven't heard such a disgusting idea for a long time”

Polish MP Aleksandra Leo pointed out that she “did not like” the previously proposed idea of ​​restriction 800 plus for Ukrainian citizens. In her opinion, “Ukrainian children, if they go to a Polish school, have the same rights and have the right to get money.”

In February, among the politicians of the ruling coalition, the idea of ​​limiting the 800 plus benefit for migrants appeared who would have to meet certain criteria to further collect money. Law and justice also wants the benefit to be paid for children from Ukraine only when their parents work and pay taxes in Poland.

In the context of Nawrocki's proposal, Leo said: – I have not heard such a disgusting idea for a long time, so dividing, so excluding, segregating. Whether in public transport or in PKP The Ukrainians are also supposed to sit in the back? – commented the MP.

“We can't divide people into better and worse”

MPs Daria Gosek-Popiołek and Monika Rosa spoke in a similar tone.

Gosek-Popiołek said that “these are people who pay contributions that operate in Polish society.” – And what you propose, you suggest in the long run the destruction of any social ties – the politician emphasized.

In turn, MP of the Civic Coalition referred to the issue of pre -school care, which was also the subject of the Nawrocki spot. – No child remains unattended, regardless of what nationality he is – explained Rosa.

– We cannot divide people into better and worse in access to protection. And always at the time of health and life threatening, this access simply must be equal – Rosa replied.

What should decide about the queue to the doctor? PiS MP: Health condition

On Sunday, Nawrocki's spot was also commented on by guests of “Facts after facts” on TVN24. PiS MP Janusz Cieszyński He said that “all people should queue a doctor depending on what their health is.” In his opinion, Nawrocki's announcement refers to the “unrealized promise of Rafał Trzaskowski, who said that he would immediately take care of those possibilities that gives 800 plus, people who came from Ukraine.”

The MP of the Civic Coalition Kamil Gasiuk-Pihowicz referred to these words. – Proposal Rafał Trzaskowski concerning 800 plus for Ukrainian children and the merger with the obligation to enter school is the fulfillment of the Polish constitution – she emphasized.

Do Ukrainians lengthen the queues to doctors?

About the fact that Ukrainians staying in Poland are increasing the problem of queues to doctors – with whom subsequent governments have not been able to cope for years – not only Karol Nawrocki, but also Sławomir Mentzen from the Confederation has already spoken during the ongoing campaign.

As he wrote Concrete24, Such statements duplicate anti -Ukrainian messages that began to circulate on the Polish Internet shortly after the start of Russia's full -day invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, when refugees from Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of thousands settled in Poland. The goal of the narrative connecting refugees from Ukraine with the problems of the Polish health care system is to strengthen among Poles a negative attitude to Ukrainians – which is the implementation of the intentions of Russian propaganda. The Kremlin has been playing for deepening divisions between Ukrainians and Poles since the beginning of the war.
