“Commercial evacuation” of Poles from the mediate East? MFA under criticism

In connection with the escalation of the conflict in the mediate East, the Polish government was to organise evacuation of citizens from threatened areas. However, it turns out that, according to reports of the media, Poles themselves gotta pay the costs of the trip. The case sparked a storm, and the abroad Ministry was caught in the heat of criticism.

We recommend: Government will not finance evacuation of Poles from the mediate East

‘Skandal’, ‘kickling’, ‘compromise’ – politicians about MFA activities

The media reported that the evacuation of Poles from Israel and another countries of the region was to be carried out by a private company and citizens would pay for transport themselves. These reports have met the sharp reactions of opposition politicians.

• “This is simply an incredible scandal. In a average country not only the head of the MFA, but the full government would resign!” – Marcin Romanowski (PiS) was thundered by a fugitive wanted by the Polish justice system.

• “Where are all those screamers who, during the times of the United Right, began to get hysterical due to the fact that individual on a crowded evacuation plane from Israel did not get a sandwich?” – rhetorically asked the politician PiS.

• “The MFA evacuates Poles from Israel, but only if they pay for it. Do you understand? From the battlefield evacuation by coach and plane for money?” – commented Bogdan Rzoniec.

Anita Czerwińska called the situation ‘commercial evacuation’Olga Semenuk-Patkowska added:
“Consul organizes a commercial action, the MFA washes hands. It's just terrible. They have Poles for nothing.”

"Odysseus" – controversial news for Poles in Israel

An email sent by the strategy "Odysseus" was sent to Poles in Israel. The message informs of the request to cover the costs of evacuation and indicates contact with the Consul in Bethlehem.

Radosław Fogiel (PiS) commented:
“What does the Ministry do erstwhile it is righteous? He releases the message: 'It's not us, we in general do not organize evacuations, delight back off'. Scandal and mockery!”

This is an email from the Odysseus strategy that Polish citizens in Israel get. It's about cost and consul in Bethlehem. And what does the abroad Ministry do erstwhile righteous outrage is raised? He releases the message "It's not us, we're not organizing the evacuations at all, delight back off." Scandal and mockery! pic.twitter.com/BdPyMMzosW

Will the government retreat from the decision?

For now, there is no authoritative MFA position on changing the evacuation rules. The issue is becoming increasingly emotional, and more politicians and commentators request clarification.

Summary: The Tusk government does not have money on Poles but on Ukrainians – always

Donald Tusk's government decision to Poles paid for evacuation themselves with the conflict-affected mediate East, shows clearly, who is simply a first and second category national in Poland.

While to save its own citizens lacks resources, government no problem Repayment of interest on EU debt to Ukraine, inactive under the Law and Justice. Poland regularly transfers money to support Kiev, while Polish families must finance their escape from the war.

Double standards: Polish pays, Ukrainian gets

• Poles – must pay for yourself evacuation, even though they pay taxes in the country.
• Ukrainians – since the beginning of the war they receive free access to wellness care, schools, housing, benefits and additional material assistanceCommon without appropriate verification.

The Government of Tusk, as before the Law and Justice, treats Polish citizens as secondary. While Ukraine gets billionsand its refugees – Priority aidPoles in crisis hear: “You can handle yourselves”.

Is that any more help, or are you already a Zelenski fan?

Power is eager to finance further requests by Zelenskibut erstwhile it comes to the safety of Poles – Suddenly, there's no funding.. It's not a coincidence, it's targeted policythat shows that interests of Polish citizens are falling to the background.

Can't we truly afford to evacuate 200 people? Or possibly just The government would alternatively spend that money elsewhere?

Conclusion: Polish national – second-class national

As long as power is favoring aliens at the expense of its own citizens, until Poles will be treated as petents in their own country. And this. Whether he rules the Law and Justice or the Law and Justice.

Time to say: ENOUGH!
