"The point is not to work for the benefit of the Lukashenko regime," said Confederation MEP Anna Bryłka, referring to the postulate to open border crossings with Belarus in Podlasie. "In the Lubelskie Voivodeship, there is an increase in retail trade due to the fact that the border crossing is open," she added. According to politicians, the closure of border crossings in the Podlaskie Voivodeship is simply a failure of almost a billion zlotys.
