Belarus migrants: EU accuses Lukashenko of gangster-style abuse

The European Commission has accused Belarus's authoritarian leader of luring migrants with the false promise of easy entry to the EU as part of an "inhuman, gangster-style approach".

At least 2,000 migrants are now at the Belarus border with Poland.

"Upon arrival they are being pushed to the border and forced to make an illegal entry into the European Union," said Commission spokesman Peter Stano.

Belarus's leader Alexander Lukashenko denies orchestrating the problem.

EU and Nato members Poland, Lithuania and Latvia have all seen a surge in the number of people trying to enter their countries illegally from Belarus in recent months. Many are young men but they include women and children, largely from the Middle East and Asia.

So after almost 30 years of a nut job dictatorship, the Euroweenies are finally noticing this guy?

Also, from the article: “ The UN refugee agency’s spokesperson Shabia Mantoo said it was very worried by the latest scenes: “Using refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to achieve political ends is unacceptable and must stop.”

At first, I thought she was talking about Brandon and his handlers.

From what I’ve read many of these migrants are from the Kurdish region of Iraq, and hope to make their way to Germany. They pay up to 14,000 euros to obtain “shady” visas.

Sounds like the invasion of America. The West accuses Belarus of pushing the migrants into the EU for a political motive.

In America our invasion from the South has a political motive.
And it’s our government that has the motive, and means to do it.
