As various reports point out, Poland, among other countries from Central Europe, still has regulations denying immigrants basic political liberties. This paper has been drawn up in order to answer the following research questions:
- What forms of participation are open to third country nationals? (Right to join/create NGOs, trade unions or a political party, participation rights (voting, standing) in elections, consultation mechanisms or consultative bodies, and state policy promoting immigrants political participation)
- What forms of participation are closed (to third country nationals) and how legitimately?
- Which hidden barriers exist to their participation in social and political life?
- Are participation issues addressed by projects implemented via the European Fund for the Integration of Third-country nationals?
