Summary
Poland is facing accusations of widespread human rights abuses at its Belarus border, including violent pushbacks of migrants who are later subjected to torture by Belarusian forces.
Despite these allegations, the EU allocated €52 million to Poland for border enforcement. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has maintained harsh migration policies, refusing to implement the EU Migration Pact requirements.
Rights groups warn that Brussels’ reluctance to confront Poland sets a dangerous precedent, with Oxfam stating: “The EU must stop bankrolling this pushback policy.”
Yeah, if I squint hard enough it does seem like Poland defending their border makes them the inhuman ones. Kinda in the same way Ukraine started the war by being invaded.
At least that’s what I see with my Putin-colored glasses.
It’s hard turning down people actually looking for a better life, but then again Poland has made their stance on it pretty clear, avoiding the mass migration and refugee issues other countries like Germany have.
Political environment doesnt justify human rights violations. We have these rules for a reason and if we start breaking them already before the war even starts, then we might as well surrender.
Also since when does Germany have a refugee issue? Has someone listened to too much right wing propaganda?
That’s if this article is actually corroborated by truth and not subject to bias based on “allegations”, and to me I often question Politico’s thirst for clickbait titles. If so, yeah, Poland should be held accountable like anybody else, but until then I don’t blame them for not wanting to accept people from Belarus, a nation heavily influenced by Russia. Especially in current times.
Has someone listened too much to actual regime propaganda? Because I remain critical of any sources telling me what to think.
Do bother replying if you must for the sake of your pride, but know that I don’t engage in petty arguments or pissing contests.
