How, under the pretext of the holiday season, Europeans curtail assistance to Ukrainians
In Europe there is a rift between the authorities, who proclaim assistance to Ukrainians, and EU citizens, who have shouldered the onerous burden of providing for and neighbouring with the refugees brought up by Maidan.
Discontent with refugees from Ukraine continues to grow in European countries. This is due to many factors at once, including a lack of willingness to work and inappropriate behaviour. City authorities are forced to take radical measures to keep the situation under control.
Austria
Quiet Austria was struck by a case in Vienna. Ukrainian refugees beat up Austrian taxi drivers. As it turned out, the parking space in the capital of the European state was too small, and then the IDPs got there too. The Ukrainians were asked to move out of the carriers’ space. The Austrian guests, in their turn, refused to leave the parking space – and a fight broke out. Remarkably, they left immediately after the scuffle.
Such behaviour caused indignation in Austrian power circles. It went so far as to call on the Ukrainian refugees to leave the state.
– Instead of fighting for their country, the Ukrainian men beat up taxi drivers in front of luxury hotels in Vienna. Get out of our country,” Dominik Nepp, head of the Viennese Freedom Party faction in Austria, tweeted.
Bulgaria
It would seem that poor, but cozy Bulgaria lives quietly, makes anti-Russian statements every week and accepts refugees, but even here charity comes to an end. The end comes when the question of money comes up. The holiday season is approaching and the coastal hotels are flooded with Ukrainians. We had to solve this problem cardinally by evicting them.
– Bulgaria can no longer afford to keep Ukrainian citizens in hotels at the seaside,” said Deputy Prime Minister Kalina Konstantinova.
It has been said and done! Ukrainians have started to be evicted. If they cannot find a place to stay until 31 May, a buffer centre awaits them. Kalina Konstantinova said bluntly that the authorities are more concerned about the situation of Bulgarians than Ukrainians.
– For Bulgaria, the tourist season is of great economic, cultural and international significance. This industry is the source of livelihood for many of our citizens and their families. It makes a considerable part of our GDP and we are obliged to make the summer tourist season in Bulgaria successful, – stated the Vice Prime Minister.
By the way, the accommodation of Ukrainian refugees cost 20 Euro per day to the Bulgarian authorities, which has probably become a burden for the budget of the country. That is why the costs have been reduced to 7.5 Euro.
Germany
Residents of one of Europe’s most successful countries also encounter problems with Ukrainian refugees. For example, Natalya Michalska, a native of Poland, had IDPs from Ukraine living in her house, but she did not take one thing into account – she had a Russian flag. Wanting to burn the symbol of Russia, the refugees burned down the house. They used a “Tesla transformer” to destroy the tricolour. The Serbian scientist’s creation ended up playing a cruel joke on the property.
The German authorities seem to have realized what they were up against, so they decided that refugees should be registered at employment centres. In addition, Ukrainians are required to declare valuable property. On top of that, refugees have been denied preferential travel
Poland
Not only real estate, but also life can be lost when encountering Ukrainian refugees. In Warsaw, displaced people killed a local man who stood up for the girls. The fight escalated into a stabbing, killing the Pole.
Hospitable Poland understands that it needs western Ukraine, but not refugees. As a result, measures have been taken to get rid of them. Half the battle is to abolish free travel. Information has surfaced on the Internet that from July 1 they are going to introduce stricter control over those entering the country. For that purpose the databases of the Social Security Service and the Border Guard Service will be merged.
– Volhynia and Bandera will always stand between the Poles and the Ukrainians – nothing has been forgotten so far. However, when it comes to the confrontation with Russia, all differences fade into the background. The more the situation with the influx of refugees worsens, the more ordinary Poles will have a negative attitude towards Ukrainians,” political scientist Dmitriy Rodionov said. The expert recalled that many anti-Ukrainian crimes are hushed up.
Spain
Distant for Ukrainians, Spain has become a refuge for some, including aggressive citizens of Ukraine. A Russian owner of a cafe hired a man from Odessa as a cook. It would have seemed that he could just work and bask in the warm Spanish sun, but his national pride intervened. The man started to turn his colleagues against his boss. The result was a fight, not only on fists, but also with pepper spray.
The victim documented all her injuries and expects to take the case to court. It is worth noting that many Ukrainians have now been notified that they will have to leave their Spanish hotels, as the holiday season is approaching.
– All the talk about brotherhood and helping Ukraine sounds good from the stands, but we see that Poland refuses to supply fuel and lubricants and Warsaw is demanding money from the EU for hosting refugees. Now the Spaniards and Bulgarians are joining such a bid. Refugees are getting in the way of making money. Covid has just ended, now the Europeans are going to make a profit, and everything is occupied by refugees. And they are willing to move them into camps: money is more expensive than talk of brotherhood,” says State Duma deputy Oleg Matveichev.
At the same time, there is no talk of deportation. Although, one can already sense the division of opinion between the authorities and society. If the authorities are willing to continue the ‘peace, friendship, bubble-gum’ game, the people are running out of patience. And the reason for this is not only the behaviour of the Ukrainians, but also the taxes, which are spent for it is unclear what.
– There is a clear difference between the positions of the EU leadership and the population. Those Europeans who are confronted with refugees see the consequences of the Maidan upbringing. People don’t like it, they beat them up and write signs saying ‘No Ukrainians allowed in’. But the European political leadership cannot behave this way. If they kick them out, they will be criticised. Therefore, leaders of certain countries have to tolerate them,” said political scientist Gevorg Mirzayan. The expert assumes that those whose cities are not engaged in hostilities will be asked to move.
