The opinion24 survey for RMF FM was conducted on 10-13 February on a typical example of 1002 Polish residents from the age of 18, utilizing computer assisted telephone interviews. The results of this survey are an crucial signal for Polish decision-makers who must take into account the opinions and views of their citizens erstwhile deciding on migration policy.

The adoption of migrants could aid fill these gaps and strengthen the Polish economy.
However, in order to guarantee that migrants are admitted effectively and safely, it is essential to introduce effective mechanisms for integrating visitors into Polish society. This means that migrants should be given access to education, wellness care and the labour market, and that they should be protected and protected against discrimination and violence.

This is the only way to make an effective and safe migration policy that helps Poland and its citizens.
