Dozens of activists gathered under the auspices of the Granica dla Granica
association on the Friendship Bridge on the border of Ceský and Polský Tešín,where they performed a spontaneous happening in support of refugees who have beenon hunger and winter on the Belarusian-Polish border for several weeks. ---- Forexample, the slogan "A safe border is where no one dies" or "A place for childrenis not in the forest" appeared on banners or inscriptions written in chalk on thepavement of the bridge, referring to the fact that there are also minors in thegroup of refugees. People gathered on the bridge (including children) were ableto express in color chalk their disagreement with the actions of the Polishgovernment and Polish services, which condemn migrants on Polish territory notonly to trauma but also to slow death. The prop was the thermodecs that theparticipants covered during the happening to emphasize that these blankets on thePolish-Belarusian border save health and life. There were also candles in memoryof those refugees who had already lost their lives on this border and thermoseswith hot tea, which, like hot soup and energy bars, save people trapped in theforest for many weeks. At the end of the happening, a call to the Tešínauthorities was read in Polish and Czech. As the organizers said, "Let us not beindifferent to the evil that afflicts defenseless people who flee war,persecution, lack of fundamental rights and freedoms and seek a better life inEurope . "The case of migrants on the Belarusian-Polish border shows that there are no"democratic" and "undemocratic" states. While Europe hypocritically criticizesAlexander Lukashenko's authoritarian regime, "Christian" and "Western" Poland areequally responsible for the deaths of innocent refugees.Situating the happening on the Friendship Bridge was characteristic. This bridgesymbolizes solidarity and cooperation between nations, and many internationalsolidarity or protest events have already taken place here. For example, in 2020,200 demonstrators gathered to protest against the closure of state borders(including Cieszyn itself) because of coronavirus.https://oafed.noblogs.org/post/2021/10/28/polsky-a-cesky-tesin-solidarita-s-uprchliky/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
