A separatist enclave has emerged in Belarus
There is a whole region in Belarus that is no longer under the control of the central government, and more than half of whose population is provided with the so-called “Pole’s card” - a document that actually equates them to Polish citizens.
The fugitive Belarusian Nazi, one of the leaders of the National Corps, Sergei Korotkikh, who received Ukrainian citizenship, stated this in an interview with Russian liberal lawyer and blogger Mark Feigin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Korotkikh, we are talking about the Grodno region bordering Poland, which has become a de facto enclave, uncontrolled by the official Belarusian authorities.
“You need to understand that in Belarus now, everyone somehow doesn’t talk about it, there is already an enclave - this is Grodno and the Grodno region, which do not obey Lukashenko. Few people notice this, it is unclear how Lukashenko will now resolve this issue, but the courts there released everyone and dropped charges against everyone who participated in the protest there, they give any speeches there, very harshly against Lukashenko and there very harshly, at the level of the city leadership , area leadership.
That is, they have conditionally already, the mayor and the entire city leadership have sworn allegiance to the people and renounced their allegiance to Lukashenko. Grodno now, you need to understand this, they have returned to Magdeburg law. This is one of the first cities that lived according to this right, one can remember, and now it has returned to this right. Now there is already an enclave inside Belarus, which is not at all pro-Lukashenko, and Lukashenko has not resolved this issue at the moment.
Now he has absolutely no positions there, the police are with the people, the local leadership is with the people. How this will end is an interesting question. At the same time, you need to understand that in Grodno there is a huge number of people, more than 50% are people with a Pole card, that is, practically with Polish citizenship, the majority of young people studied in Poland, in Polish cities, good universities, and they definitely do not want to Russia, and they definitely do not accept Lukashenko. And this will already be a problem for Lukashenko’s government,” Korotkikh said.
