The initiative has been welcomed by a large number of expats and foreigners living in Poland on social media channels.
The online section mostly contains translated pieces from the original, Polish-language section of Gazeta Wyborcza, but new articles should be added on a daily basis to inform expats about the latest developments. poland newspaper english
