Polish government accused of ‘hypocrisy’

Alexander Lukashenko once again accused the Western countries of wanting to interfere in the internal affairs of Belarus, pointing out at the same time that their leaders should deal with their own problems. “They openly declare collecting funds and sending them to Belarus,” the incumbent president of Belarus was quoted as saying by BelTA, a state-owned national news agency. “Polish flags are already being displayed in Grodno [close to Polish-Belarusian border]. This is unacceptable.”
Meanwhile, Poland’s President Andrzej Duda informed about his conversation with the Polish ambassador to Belarus, Artur Michalski. According to EU sources, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki talked about the situation in Belarus with the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Earlier, Morawiecki asked for the convening of a European Union summit on Belarus.
Morawiecki’s critics were quick to point out his “hypocrisy of saying that outsiders cannot intervene (or even criticize) your domestic affairs while you yourself are potentially doing the same with another country.”
