The cordon is darned

In the situation with migrants on the Belarusian-Polish border, Lukashenko acts on the principle of "put up with everyone." But other parties - from Russia to Europe - not in the lining

On the night of November 10, two groups of migrants were able to break through the Belarusian-Polish border and get into the territory of Poland. All broken -down are detained and expelled in Belarus. In total, according to the Polish border guards, 599 attempts to break through the border were recorded per day. Lithuanians recorded 281 attempts.

There were no so many migrants in Belarus. The first organized groups began to cross the border in the spring, and if it were not for the Polish border service, no one would have known about this. Now in Belarus no one is hiding anything. Every day, two flights from Damascus and Beirut arrive in Minsk, aircraft from Baghdad and Erbil are sitting every day, the number of flights from Istanbul has increased. Previously, those who arrived with these flights immediately went to the border. Now they go there by organized groups and spend several days in Minsk-for some reason they especially liked the Gallery shopping center on the winners Avenue. And on Monday, November 8, a column of several thousand passengers of those flights with backpacks and accompanied by the Belarusian military moved towards the Polish border.

It looked as if a certain secret government operation was suddenly a secret disposal of a number of any fraction of one was transferred to the category of advertising actions. So that all the drivers who travel along the Minsk -Brest highway saw a column walking along the road to share photographs in social networks taken from the car window to discuss and argue, repost and Likali. Sentences, searches, arrests somehow imperceptibly, literally in two days, in the Belarusian society faded into the background.

Poland, of course, began to pull the troops to the border immediately after the photographs of the migrant column began to appear in Belarusian media and social networks.

In two days, the number of military on the border increased to 15 thousand, the Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blashcak told Polish Radio on November 10.

Further, the parties exchanged mutual accusations of shooting and mockery of refugees. Videos of the refugee camp with a nearby shooting were published in the official channels of both the Belarusian and Polish government. Belarusian border guards in their telegram channel constantly wrote about the beating and bullying of migrants who broke across the border from the Polish security forces. Those, in turn, published messages about the beating of migrants by Belarusian border guards who put the detachments and fully lead the refugees. The Polish side on the evening of November 8 began to patrol the sky in the border zone. On November 10, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus said that the Belarusian Air Force will now patrol the state border with the involvement of two distant Tu-22M3 bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

It was Russia who ultimately accused of creating a migration crisis on the border Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Moravetsky. At an emergency meeting of the Sejm on the evening of November 9, he said: “Lukashenko acts as an executor of this attack. But he also has an assistant - President Putin. His actions demonstrate the determination to implement a plan to restore the Russian Empire - a script that we, Poles, must strongly resist. ” And Angel Merkel called Vladimir Putin on November 10 to discuss the situation on the Belarusian-Polish border. Putin advised to discuss this directly with the authorities of Belarus. And the authorities of Belarus do not discuss anything with anyone, only do compassionate faces and say, for example, the Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Kubrakov on the air of state television, that migrants flee from the war, are legally and, in general, Belarus as a hospitable country is ready to accept them all, but they want to go further. More precisely, to go - but Kubrakov no longer speaks of this.

By the way, Poland does nothing new or unexpected. Back in 2018, the Polish government contrary to the EU plan to introduce quotas to the reception of refugees from the countries of the Middle East and North Africa said that there would be no quotas and would not accept a single refugee. Even then, Mateusz Moravetsky said that it was this position of the Party of Law and Justice that was declared before the 2015 elections and the Polish people voted for this. “We will not accept refugees, because this is our sovereign decision,” Moravetsky said on the air of TVP then. He explained that Poland already reduces stress on the borders of the European Union, as he accepts Ukrainians. By that time, about 900 thousand citizens of Ukraine had already worked in Poland, now there are more than a million of them. And President of Poland Andrzej Duda at a meeting of the UN General Assembly in September said that 150 thousand Belarusians have already received work and housing in Poland.

So, objectively speaking, Poland really took on a huge migration load. And her position on migrants is known to everyone.

And from the current crisis, the Polish government will only win. Her rating decreased great after the ban on abortion. And even after the death of a pregnant woman from sepsis, mass protests began in many cities of Poland. (We are talking about the tragedy in the hospital of the town of Pshchi, where the young woman was brought at the 22nd week of pregnancy after the premature departure of amniotic fluid. It turned out that the fetus had numerous pathologies incompatible with life, but instead of an urgent operation, the doctors were waiting for the fruit themselves. As a result, both died.) The internal political situation in Poland became much more complicated for the ruling party, but Now, against the backdrop of the opposition’s statements about the rights of migrants and the need to let them into the country “Law and Justice” is gaining points again. The death of a young woman, already mentioned in Polish society, and repressions in Belarus have faded to the background in both countries. Conspirological versions that supposedly have a “agreement” have supposedly have conspiracy versions. Vladimir Putin is again “chief for plates” - it is Merkel who calls him with a request to influence Lukashenko. In general, everyone is fine - except migrants, border guards of both countries and the Belarusian people. But border guards are at least paid for this.
