The issue of visas and the activity of the Kremlin apparatus
According to Żaryn, “the Kremlin’s influence apparatus has recently been intensively promoting, especially with the help of international resources, reports from some Polish media about irregularities in the processing of certain visas in Poland.”
Russia’s goal was to widely denounce the media portrayal of this case as a factual situation
– he said.
“‘Colonialism’ and ‘imperialism’
He added that “in Kremlin and Minsk propaganda, the anniversary of the USSR’s attack on the Republic of Poland in 1939 is still presented as the day of the liberation of Western Belarus and Western Ukraine from the ‘Polish Colonialism’.”
The information activities of both regimes are more subtle than in previous years
– said the Government Plenipotentiary for the Security of the Polish Information Space.
The Secretary of State at the Prime Minister’s Chancellery said that “the Russian and Belarusian influence apparatus maintains information efforts aimed at building a false image of NATO as an alliance that threatens both countries.”
An inherent element of this operation is the presentation of the Republic of Poland as a state whose policies are motivated by imperialism
– he pointed.
“‘Germans are trying to influence the electoral vote in the Republic of Poland’
Żaryn also noted that “Germany is trying to influence the electoral vote in the Republic of Poland.”
Selected – but leading – German media and leading politicians have recently promoted false suggestions that Poland is responsible for the increasing migration pressure of non-European foreigners to the east. border of the Federal Republic of Germany. In its message, the German side is clearly based on a series of publications by some media in Poland about the so-called “visa scandal” and ignores the facts communicated to the public by the institutions of the Polish state
– he said.
According to him, “opponents of the ruling option, as part of the election campaign in Poland, are promoting a false narrative according to which the actions of the Polish government are subordinate to Russian interests or based on the actions of the Kremlin or Minsk. ”
Foreign entities are also inspired to put forward such statements
– concluded the State Secretary at the Prime Minister’s Chancellery.
