PM Tusk reacts to news that Poles are returning to Poland from abroad
Recent statistics cited by the British newspaper Daily Mail suggest a surprising trend: a growing number of Polish workers are leaving the UK and returning to Poland. Nearly 100,000 Poles are said to be considering or undertaking a return, driven by a desire for better living conditions and greater personal safety. The article highlights Britain’s economic stagnation, job insecurity, and rising crime, contrasted with Poland’s dynamic economic growth and improving quality of life. One Polish family described worsening safety and job prospects in the UK as key reasons for returning home.
Migration data show more Poles leaving the UK than arriving. Prime Minister Donald Tusk welcomed the news, while Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski expressed pride in Poland’s progress while maintaining respect for Britain.
