Romania and Poland issue mock statement offering shelter to Spaniards and Brits
A text dated Warsaw, 29 October 2026, invites Spaniards and Brits to settle in Romania and Poland with housing and jobs. It's a joke.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A statement attributed to the governments of Romania and Poland, dated Warsaw, 29 October 2026, invites Spaniards and Brits to emigrate to those countries with a plan for housing, jobs and welfare. The text itself falls apart at the end: the source is a joke.
The text circulates as if it were an official statement from two European governments. It is not. It presents itself as a letter from the governments of **Romania** and **Poland** addressed "respectively" to the Spanish and English peoples, and it is dated **29 October 2026** in Warsaw. At the end, the author himself breaks the fiction: he asks whether you want to see the source and answers with a burst of laughter. It is a satirical piece, not a diplomatic announcement.
## The argument of giving it back
The piece builds its joke on a migratory symmetry. It claims that since the 1980s hundreds of thousands of Poles arrived in England, and since the late 1990s hundreds of thousands of Romanians arrived in Spain. According to the text, they were welcomed "unconditionally", with support from the authorities and access to work, even if that meant competing with the local population.
Decades later, the statement turns the situation around. It claims that Romania and Poland are "in a better position" and invites Spaniards and Brits to settle there to receive "exactly the same" that they offered. It mentions a plan for housing, jobs and welfare for everyone who arrives.
## Why it is not a real statement
No government sends official notes signed off with a "HA, HA AND HA" at the bottom. The text mixes registers: administrative language, a migration reproach and a punchline. The 2026 date and the absence of any institutional channel confirm that this is a piece of humour, not a migration offer.
These texts should be taken for what they are. If anyone arrives at it looking for a real housing or jobs plan in Romania or Poland, they will not find one: the invitation is a joke and there is no official procedure behind it.
