“We shall not allow the persecution of communists by the
authorities of the Republic of Poland”
... In the Republic of Poland, it is planned to resume the
trial to bring to responsibility the editorial board of the printing organ of
the Communist Party of Poland of the newspaper "Brzask". The
initiator of this court hearing is the prosecutor's office, which filed an
appeal after the court passed a acquittal last year.
The trial has been going on for more than 4 years, it is one
of the elements of the broad anti-communist campaign of the ruling circles of
the Republic of Poland, which includes amendments to the criminal law aimed at
equating communism, under whose banner fascism was defeated, to the very
hateful ideology, i.e. . Nazism and fascism, the prohibition of communist
symbols, ideology and communist activity in general, the demolition of
monuments to Soviet, including Belarusian, soldiers-liberators, etc.
It is noteworthy that the Polish authorities are cultivating
anti-communism against the backdrop of the activation of former underground
"fighters" with anti-fascist power, which established itself in
Poland after its liberation from Nazi Nazism by the Red Army and Polish
patriots in 1945. So in Gaynovka, where many Polish citizens of Belarusian
nationality live, processions of the so-called “Damned” who glorify the
participants of the armed underground in Poland in the first post-war years and
justify their atrocities against the civilian population, including the
Belarusian, allegedly by the struggle for the independence of Poland, which no
one threatened.
The unleashed anti-communist campaign can negatively affect
the nature of Belarusian-Polish interstate relations to the detriment of the
interests of the peoples of our states. This is also due to the fact that the
Polish authorities are intensively deploying US troops and other NATO members
on their territory aimed at the Union State of Belarus and Russia.
In connection with the foregoing, we appeal to the friendly
people of Poland and its sensible leaders with a call to stop the ongoing
anti-communist campaign, to stop the lawsuit against the editorial office of
the newspaper of the Communist Party of Poland “Brzask”, aimed at banning the
activities of the party, to take measures together with the people and
leadership of the Republic of Belarus restoration of relations of good
neighborliness and friendship.
