Tonight one of the leading news programs - “Panorama” - broadcasted by Channel 2 of Polish National Television said that 1.200.000 people (at work age) has left Poland since we joined EU. This number is about 3% of whole population of Poland. The news added that this was only an official statement, and unofficial number is much higher.
This information is based on estimations of ECAS (European Citizen Action Service). The emigrants (both temporary and long term) left for Germany (534.990), UK (264.000), Ireland (100.000), France (90.000), Italy (72.229) and Holland (20.000).
The rumor says that the number of Polish people that left our country is up to 2 millions or more and just in Ireland is more than 200.000 of them.
Information about the scale of emigration in the main news program can indicate that the number of Poles who left already and who are going to leave in the nearest future is becoming a problem for our government. The massive emigration seems to be a flaw on the image of the land of plenty that our ruling party tries to built.
