Migrants have the right to assembly and associate in social organisations, trade unions, employers organisations, to set up and join foundations or to join political parties. National or ethnic minority members, since they are Polish citizens, have full rights to self-government. As far as the Parliamentary elections are concerned, the electoral committees of the national minorities enjoy the preferential exemption from the 5% threshold. |
