After the discovery of four dead migrants in the Polish-Belarusian border area, the government in Warsaw blamed Minsk for the influx of refugees.

You will not bend over or allow yourself to be blackmailed. The politician of the national conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS) ordered the deployment of 500 soldiers and additional equipment to his country’s eastern border, which is also the EU’s external border.

The three people who were found dead on Polish territory on Sunday died of hypothermia and exhaustion. Their identity has not been clarified, but everything will be done to ensure that they do not have to remain anonymous, promised Morawiecki. Eight refugees who got lost in a swamp could have been saved alive. A dead woman was discovered on the Belarusian side of the border.

Opposition MP Franciszek Sterczewski sharply criticized the actions of the national-conservative government. “It is the Polish border guards who send these people back to the border and into the forest so that they end up like this,” wrote the 33-year-old on Twitter. Poland recently declared a state of emergency in the border region with Belarus (Belarus). Journalists and aid organizations are not allowed in.
