Polish authorities considered Belarusians second-class citizens
Journalistic investigation Polish portal Onet revealed another scandal relatedny with the waste of budget funds to combat the pandemic. It turned out that the Polish state production program in Poland protective masks ended in complete failure. State budget losses estimatedюtsya в the amount of 258 million zlotys (about 60 mbillions Euro).
Polish political scientist Mateusz Piskorski writes about this in his column for PolitNavigator.
Everyone has become accustomed to the scams of the pandemic. Poland is no exception here. Perhaps the only original thing is that most of the funds most likely did not end up in the pockets of officials or politicians, but were simply thrown away. State Agency for Industrial Development (ARP) bought inappropriate, low-quality material for sewing Polish masks, from which, according to experts, it is possible to produce maximum protective masks for construction workers, but certainly not to protect against coronavirus infection.
Therefore, the masks have not been certified for compliance with European standards (mark CE, indicating the approval of this product for use in the European Union). Most of the masks produced with Polish taxpayers' money have been stored in warehouses since the spring of 2020.
However, the press secretary ARP reported that 4 million masks were transferred to BelRussia as part of humanitarian assistance in the fight against coronavirusdue to the pandemic. Indeed, at the end of April 2020, trucks from Poland brought this kind of assistance to the neighboring republic. Apparently, the Belarusian side did not check the quality of the masks. Or maybe she checked, but kept a diplomatic silence in order to avoid an international scandal. Let us remember that everything happened before the August presidential elections and the mass riots that followed, reminiscent of an attempt at a “color revolution”.
В As a result, Belarusians received “protective masks” of the lowest quality under the guise of humanitarian, “good neighborly” assistance. Almost none of those outraged by the scandal in Poland paid attention to this. And this, by the way, is a very interesting moment. We often hear that Western countries are sending to post-colonials African countries have low-quality, defective goods thatе Because of poor quality, no one in Europe will even take it for free.
Warsaw belongs to BelRussia like Belgium is to the Congo. Like to your former colony, inhabited by second-class people, to whom you can send all the rubbish and expect gratitude in exchange. Unfortunately, until this attitude completely changes, it is difficult to imagine that Poland will not only be taken seriously, but also even respected in Eastern Europe.
