What goes on in Poland on the 9th of November.
The Commission is responding to the border crisis in Poland
The European Commission contacted the prime ministers of Poland, Lithuania and Łowa about the border crisis consisting in the deliberate increase in the wave of migration on the European Union’s border with Belarus. She called for the adoption of new sanctions, including those against airlines allowing the transfer of migrants. The Commission is also expected to insist on the cooperation of Middle Eastern countries to enable the safe return of their citizens.
The Commission is also expected to contact the migrants’ countries of origin to prevent their citizens from „falling into the trap”. Belarus, probably supported by Russia, created favorable conditions for arrival in Minsk by encouraging citizens of Middle Eastern countries such as Iraq to migrate through its territory to the European Union. However, migrants reaching Belarus are forcibly directed to the borders. Belarusians and Russians are accused of deliberately causing a border crisis.
The Commission has declared that it is seeking sanctions against airlines facilitating the transit of migrants on the one hand, and will take diplomatic action to organize the return of Middle Eastern nationals to their homeland in order to avoid a humanitarian crisis.
