Berlin: On Sunday, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser visited the Polish border with Belarus to gain a firsthand understanding of the situation there. The visit came amidst an ongoing crisis at the border, where thousands of migrants have been stranded in recent months, attempting to cross into the European Union.
During her visit, Faeser met with Polish border guards and discussed the challenges they face in securing the border. She also visited a migrant reception center and spoke to some of the migrants who have been stuck at the border for weeks.
In a statement released after her visit, Faeser said that she was “deeply concerned” by the humanitarian situation at the border. She called on Belarus to stop using migrants as a political tool and to respect international law.
“The situation at the border is unacceptable,” Faeser said. “Belarus must stop using migrants as a political tool. This is a humanitarian crisis, and it’s essential that we work together to find a solution.”
Faeser also said that Germany would continue to support Poland in its efforts to secure the border. She announced that Germany would be sending additional personnel and equipment to help with the situation.
“We stand in solidarity with Poland,” Faeser said. “We will continue to support them in their efforts to secure the border and to help those who have been affected by this crisis.”
The crisis at the Polish-Belarus border began in August 2021, when Belarus began encouraging migrants from the Middle East and Africa to cross into the EU illegally. Poland and other EU countries have accused Belarus of using the migrants as a political tool to destabilize the bloc.
Since then, thousands of migrants have been stranded at the border, living in difficult conditions. Several people have died in the cold and harsh conditions.
The EU has imposed sanctions on Belarus in response to the crisis, but Belarus has refused to change its tactics. The crisis is expected to continue in the coming months.
