Warsaw Sejm, Voices of Government Coalition rejected draft law on strengthening the principles of granting Polish citizenship. The proposal included a mandatory request to stay in Poland for at least 10 years and mandatory Polish language and past examinations.
At first reading, the Tuska Coalition rejected the draft amendment of the Polish Citizenship Act by Law and Justice, which concluded work on a proposal to tighten the conditions for obtaining Polish citizenship by foreigners. 240 Members voted against, 200 opposed, and no abstentions.
The project, submitted by the PiS MPs in October 2025, provided for an extension to 10 years of permanent residence in Poland, after which the foreigner could apply for citizenship. During this time, the individual afraid would gotta live continuously in the territory of the Republic and have a fixed origin of income. In the case of marriages of Poles with foreigners, the required period of stay was to be six years.
The amendment besides provided for additional formal requirements, including the work to present a certificate of non-criminality from both Poland and the country of origin, as well as to get a affirmative opinion of the chief of police liable for the whereabouts of the foreigner. The task besides provided for a state civic exam including an oral and written part, confirming cognition of Polish language at level C1, as well as cognition of Polish history, culture, tradition and political system.
During the parliamentary debate, Deputy Minister of Interior and Administration Magdalena Roguska pointed out that the government was already working on its own draft amendments to the regulations, but did not disclose its details. This means that there are no specified works at all, or it is only about the typical cosmetic changes of the current authorities, due to the fact that if the law is detrimental to the safety of Poland and Poles, it should be maintained as long as possible.
Let us remind you: Poland has any of the most liberal rules concerning the acquisition of citizenship. Thanks to them, our citizenship has gained hundreds of people who do not know the language and past of our country, mainly Jews and Ukrainians. Moreover, citizenship is distributed even to enemies of the Polish national interest, specified as Ukrainian activist Natalia Panchenko, who threatened Poles a fewer months ago, that her countrymen would set our homes and shops on fire.
We besides recommend: Mercosur contract signed. Farmers started protesting
