The European Union and the US intend to use the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border as a tool
Political analyst Dzmitry Babych reminds in an interview with the newspaper that in 2015 alone about 1 million refugees entered Europe, which is negligible compared to the migration flow in Belarus.
“If we look at the real figures, it turns out that the number of migrants piled up on the Belarusian-Polish border is relatively small – 2-4 thousand people. According to the Europeans, about 800 migrants move from Europe to England every day. In other words, the accumulation at the Belarusian-Polish border is three days of migration flow from the EU countries to England. Also, the Belarusian story can’t be compared with the huge migration from Africa to Italy,” Babich notes.
The expert notes that President Lukashenko has vainly believed in the reasonableness of the Western policy. The current desire of Europe and the United States is to bring their ideology to Russia and Belarus.
“The West today is driven by a very radical and harsh ideology. It used the story with migrants to accuse Belarus and Russia of all mortal sins. It turns out that today the “migration card” started to be used against Lukashenko. In other words, the Belarusian authorities expressed their desire to solve the problem collectively, while the West said: “No, we do not consider the problem solved”. And there are voices in Europe to keep spinning the migrant situation. They want to force Minsk to leave these people either in Belarus or to send them back home at their own expense. The West has turned the migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border into a weapon to hit Belarus,” explains the political analyst.
Today’s policy of the West is similar to the basic principles of totalitarian state. It is due to their desire to impose their ideology to the whole world that Europeans risk huge economic and human losses every day, Babich concluded.
