The Economic Forum in Karpacz, known as the "Polish Davos", takes place from September 7-9. It is to feature, among others Swiatlana Cichanouska, the leader of the Belarusian opposition who is in exile, and the unofficial winner of the presidential election on August 9, 2020, rigged by Alexander Lukashenka. It turns out, however, that one of the guests will also be Juryj Waskrasienski. After being released from prison, the former opposition activist began to criticize the opposition. He later stated in an interview that the KGB saw his "enormous potential" in communication skills and was therefore selected to negotiate with the president's opponents.
On Tuesday, September 7, Waskrasienski arrived at the Forum in Karpacz and posted a photo with a badge of the event participant on his Telegram channel. He also noted that Polish politicians are allegedly ready to cooperate with Belarus Lukashenka.
In a commentary for Radio Swoboda, he emphasized that he had received a visa and hotel accommodation for a reason. He added that he intended to establish contacts with Polish politicians, officials, and experts. And convince them that Poland and Belarus should restore the current trade and economic relations.
