> previous government of Poland made a deal to share all citizens' fingerprints

This piqued my interest, but I couldn't find anything. Do you know where I could find more information about it?

Sadly, I'm unable to find specific documents confirming it. AFAIK, Poland agreed to biometric data sharing with the US Office of Biometric Identity Management in exchange for loosening travel requirements. That said, US seems to be pushing[0] for more such agreements.
