Looks like mental disorders, – political scientist about Polish protests at the border

Polish protesters continue to block checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. It is noticeable that the Polish authorities diligently avoid punishing protesters even for obvious violations.

However, as he told Channel 24 political scientist Nikolai Davidyuk, the top leadership of Poland needs to solve the problem at the checkpoint as quickly as possible and not please the marginalized in order to prevent a repetition of the tragedy of 2010.

Putin has already killed Poles

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that in Europe it is difficult to find a more pro-Ukrainian politician than him, but in Poland the interests of food security must be taken into account of his country.

“Once a Polish president said that he was “Ukraine’s lawyer in Europe,” and now Tusk says that he is “Ukraine’s greatest defender,” my grandfather responded to this: “We don’t need such lawyers, we can handle it ourselves,” said the political scientist.

The question immediately arises for the Prime Minister of Poland: “what have you done to protect Ukraine?”. Tusk took office for the 2nd year of a full-scale war, when the Ukrainian people were already able to survive. Now the politician is indulging the protests of Polish protesters, because it is important to him how 2% of farmers vote.

Well, they won’t vote for you. And that? Your party will disappear? You will cease to be prime minister? The issue of politics is leadership. You can have a high rating immediately after the elections, but what will you spend it on? – Davidiuk noted.

If you please the Polish farmers of Andrzej Duda, then he will have a rating. If the President of Poland works for Vladimir Putin, then the fate of his brother Jaroslaw Kaczynski will repeat. killed. The government, which flew to commemorate Katyn, was destroyed by Putin. Everyone knows this. And today they play along with him,” the political scientist noted.

The plane of Polish President Lech Kaczynski crashed near Smolensk in Russia on the morning of April 10, 2010. There were 96 people on board the plane, including Kaczynski himself and his wife and representatives of the political elite. No one survived. Kaczynski intended to visit the Katyn cemetery, which is an international memorial complex to the victims of totalitarian repression.

A question of principles

Davidyuk stressed that Polish strikers are trying to represent the whole of Poland, but they are not the face of the whole people. This is a statistical error of electoral sympathies. Of course, farmers are important all over the world, but pandering to people who pour out grain, drive around with USSR flags and “Putin send in troops” posters is unacceptable.

If he is so strong or smart, he will be the first to meet Putin’s troops on the border with Belarus. There are less than 100 kilometers to Warsaw. Two hours and tanks in the capital. This must be understood,” said Davidyuk.

We need to solve the problem of the border blockade with those who are responsible for the whole of Poland and can restore order. So far, the chaos at the checkpoint is cheap political technology and irritation for Ukraine. As a percentage, blocking checkpoints does not cause much harm to our state, but the question is different.

“If 5% travels through Poland, they dumped 2 wagons, okay. But this a question of principles, decency and education of these people. A blow will not be dealt to the Ukrainian farmers. Their deputy minister said that the grain does not stay in Poland, but goes on. Then it means deal with yourself, not with us. This is already starting to look like mental frustration than for a real job,” noted Nikolai Davidyuk.

How they are trying to resolve the situation on the Polish border

• Polish President Andrzej Duda said that blocking the border with Ukraine is not a decision of the Polish authorities, but of farmers; for its part, the government is trying to solve this problem. He hopes that the issue with farmers can be resolved through negotiations.
• Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that border crossings with Ukraine, as well as sections of roads and railways, will included in the list of critical infrastructure facilities.
• President Vladimir Zelensky invited Poland to hold a bilateral meeting at the government level on the border with Ukraine. And if necessary, involve presidents and prime ministers to resolve the blocking situation.
