Vladimir Putin leads “a political coup organized to destabilize the European Union “, a blow “filthy, abominable”, denounces the MEP Renew Europe, Bernard Guetta, guest of France Inter on Thursday 11 November. Russia is one of the few countries to support the Belarusian regime of Alexander Lukashenko, suspected of orchestrating the arrival of more than 2,000 migrants, mostly Kurds from the Middle East, at the border between Poland and Belarus. The latter are repelled by the Polish soldiers, prevented from entering European territory.
The former journalist analyzes the Russian strategy of dividing the European Union, “well thought out”, “which presses where it hurts, on disagreements” between EU countries “on the reception of migrants”. But according to him, here, it is not a question of a migratory crisis, as since the start of the war in Syria, in 2011, but “with a political coup” against which the European Union must fight.
Bernard Guetta calls on the EU to “go to war, give Alexander Lukashenko an ultimatum”, to menace “to strangle economically” his country by completely blocking exports of Belarusian products through the Baltic Sea. These products currently have to cross Poland or Lithuania, member countries of the European Union, to reach the ports. Sanctions already applied on Belarusian exports and imports to or from the EU “are not that strong”, deplores the MEP.
The Vice-Chairman of the Human Rights Committee in the European Parliament also calls for “to rescue” these exiled people, “those unfortunate people who are dying of cold in this swamp”. But for all that, he “don’t think we should welcome them” in Europe.
