Polish migration

Yesterday's Sunday Herald claimed that "[t]he current right-wing populist party running Poland is also a factor spurring immigration to western Europe". How does the Sunday Herald know this? Have they seen any data to indicate that there has been an increase in emigration since the Law and Justice party won the September '05 election? {I looked, but couldn't find anything.} Did Polish emigration not exist when the Alliance of the Democratic Left party was in control?

If they haven't seen any data, then why write such a sentence?
