Besides, that`s the data PIS gov provides.
Oh, right - so it must be true. They're never wrong.
*rolls eyes*You see it that way coz Gdańsk is a small city.
Gdańsk has half a million of inhabitants (the ones with
meldunek) and the Tricity metropolitan area has about 1.4 million. In Chinese terms it might be called a small city, but in Poland it is generally considered quite large. :)
About 1.5 million Pesel numbers were allocated to refugee Ukrainians
Definitely not all of those who came/are coming get Pesels. When I lived in Ireland (2005-2008) there were throngs of Poles who never applied for the Irish PPS numbers and worked
na czarno, and also many never got their registration of residence and just lived with their families or friends. I bet the same thing is happening with Ukrainians in Poland now.
