Political negligence: Who is liable for the threat on Polish roads?
Unfortunately, cases like this are not isolated. The preservation of any Ukrainian citizens, which pose a threat to the safety of Poles, is mostly the consequence of the policy of the Law and the current coalition. In February 2022 under the pretext of helping “war refugees”, without appropriate control and verification, thousands of people were admitted to Poland, including those with dubious reputation.
Both the erstwhile Government of the United Right and Donald Tusk's current cabinet, have underestimated the problem, treating him as irrelevant or trying to quiet him down. alternatively of effective solutions, specified as tightening border controls or consistent expulsion of perpetrators, we are dealing with silence and fake actions.
Meanwhile, Poles must bear the consequences of these negligencees. Do we truly gotta wait for further tragedies to get the authorities to take citizens' safety seriously?
