He writes about thisCenter for Investigative Journalism»with reference to the representative of the Crimean Field Mission for Human Rights Dmitry Makarov.
According to his information, Father Peter, being a citizen of Poland, submitted a package of necessary documents to obtain a residence permit, but was refused by the special commission. This, according to the priest, called into question the existence of this church parish on the peninsula.
He turned to Poklonskaya and Aksenov for help in resolving the situation. They promised the rector of the Roman Catholic parish in the Crimean capital to check the decision of the special commission and assured that the basis for refusal cannot be the lack of need to create a parish of the Roman Catholic Church on the territory of the republic.
“We talked to the head of the Roman Catholic parish, who even reached out to Aksenov and the prosecutor of Crimea, who promised that there would be no problems. But a few weeks ago he was forced to leave without solving the problem with his documents. Despite the fact that I reached the very top and all the promises were received,” said Dmitry Makarov.
