Delph You obviously benefited from having the superior British passport for many years

I use "superior" to mean "ease of travel". The Polish passport still suffers from some insane restrictions, such as the need to get a visa to visit the USA. I won't go there until they drop visas for Poles out of solidarity with them, because it's absolutely ridiculous and unfair.

A passport does not maketh a man be it Polish or British, only hard work and a drive to better is the true passport to success.

Agreed. That's why I wouldn't object to a set of rules that rewards those that work hard and contribute while denying those that might just want an easy route to an EU passport.

The president should also have the power to withhold citizenship, especially due to security concerns, as a constitutional power.

Only a non-Pole could say that, as any real Polish person would know and remember how many Polish citizens were stripped of their citizenship in previous years by hostile governments. That's actually why Article 34, paragraph 2 of the Polish Constitution makes it clear that renouncing one's citizenship is the only way to lose it.

No, he wouldn't. The president should also have the power to withhold citizenship, especially due to security concerns, as a constitutional power.

I can see someone really misses PRL

Hardly. The prohibition against dual citizenship, including by naturalization, dates back to the Polish Citizenship Act of 1921, "Art. 1. A Polish citizen cannot be a citizen of another country at the same time."

PIłsudski didn't want dual nationals voting in Polish elections, and I don't either. The communist canard is a true "red" herring.

Sadly that prohibition was lifted in 1962, mistakenly so in my opinion.

British citizenship it was forced upon us after the betrayal at Yalta.

No it wasn't, Poles in the UK were free to settle in (and acquire citizenship of) the commonwealth country of their choice or to return to Poland. By the way, you have renounced your British citizenship, haven't you?

" choice or to return to Poland" To certain death, or re-deportation to Siberia.

"renounced your British citizenship, haven't you?" have you Harry, after all you are the the polish poster boy here on PF ,

Everyone, please focus on the topic question

" polish citizenship by president.is there any chance to get"

Not really to be honest, Unless you you have carried out some exceptional works to the benefit of Poland, or an exceptional family connection situation that would be hard to put through the normal channels.

Where's the fire? if you have the karta stałego pobytu you don't need citizenship. Just wait a few years and apply normally.
