Poland and Beggars

Published by:

Poznań residents report that people of Roma origin appear on the streets and in shopping centers asking for money. They are often children, sometimes without parents. Some, seeing a few-year-old with a hand outstretched for money, want to act. So they call the police or the city guard. It doesn’t work though.

Polish law clearly states that beggars can be arrested and fined, as begging is forbidden. But it does not solve the poverty issue.
