German Interior Minister Visits Polish Border with Belarus Amid Migration Crisis
Warsaw, Poland – German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser visited the Polish border with Belarus on Sunday, October 30, as part of a two-day trip to Poland.
Faeser met with Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski and visited the Kuznica border crossing, where thousands of migrants have been trying to enter Poland from Belarus in recent weeks.
In a joint press conference after their meeting, Faeser and Kaminski condemned Belarus for orchestrating the migrant crisis and called for further sanctions against the country.
“We are facing a hybrid attack by the Lukashenko regime,” said Faeser. “Belarus is using migrants as a means of destabilizing the European Union.”
Kaminski said that Poland has deployed over 15,000 troops to the border and is considering building a physical barrier to prevent migrants from entering.
“We will not allow Belarus to blackmail us or the European Union,” said Kaminski. “We will defend our border and protect the integrity of the Schengen zone.”
Faeser said that Germany supports Poland’s efforts to secure its border and is providing financial and technical assistance.
“We are all in solidarity with Poland,” said Faeser. “We will not let Belarus succeed in its attempt to destabilize Europe.”
The migrant crisis at the Polish-Belarus border has been ongoing for several weeks. Thousands of migrants, mostly from the Middle East and Africa, have been stranded at the border, with many forced to sleep in tents in cold and wet conditions.
The EU has accused Belarus of deliberately encouraging the migrants to cross the border into Poland in retaliation for sanctions imposed on the country. Belarus has denied these allegations.
The crisis has strained relations between Poland and Belarus, and has also raised concerns about the security of the EU’s external border.
