Expert said that refugees are representatives of the ‘jungle’ for the West

The West perceives migrants and refugees as representatives of the jungle – and behaves towards them accordingly, while Poland and the Baltic States are now at the forefront of tough action – as noted by Aleksei Avdonin, an analyst with the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies, in his talk with Alfa Radio

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell some time ago compared Europe to a garden and most of the rest of the world to a jungle that could invade the garden. And in the way the West acts in relation to migrants and refugees, the Western idea of its own exclusivity is clearly visible.

Speaking about the fact that the Polish security forces continue to push refugees into our territory, Aleksei Avdonin noted that Warsaw is fulfilling the tasks that Brussels sets for it, “Poland is a frontier territory, a border formation, the main task of which is to protect the ‘flowering garden’ – the European Union – from the penetration of the ‘jungle’. For them, migrants and refugees are all representatives of the ‘jungle’ who should not enter the European Union. Therefore, starting from 2019, 2020, the EU adopted a tough regime in relation to migrants and refugees. In the West, they understand that the metropolis cannot accept everyone, and if it continues to focus on their socio-economic support, then there will simply not be enough resources. Therefore, a task has been set before Poland and the Baltic States, and they are trying to fulfil it by hook or by crook: they act harshly, with the use of violence, up to murders, bullying of migrants in the border areas.”
