Scandal mask about green politician in Moria

“The situation is even more devastating than I would have thought,” said Greens foreign policy spokesperson Ewa Ernst-Dziedic, describing first impressions of her visit to the island of Lesbos, where the Moria refugee camp it was completely destroyed by fire on Wednesday. . There is currently no provision for the nearly 13,000 migrants who have been made homeless.

“There is no official help,” criticized Ernst-Dziedzic. Police officers would also block aid organizations from accessing a large part of the population. For three days they have lived on the road between Moria and the island’s capital, Mytilini, in plastic bags and self-built houses, the politician described this Friday in an interview with the APA. “People don’t have food or drink, here they die of thirst.” She was “outraged and dismayed.”

Talk to those affected at the scene, including children. But in doing so, she made a critical mistake. The green politician published a photo in which he takes a selfie with children. However, Ernst-Dziedic was not wearing protection for his mouth and nose. The group “Moria Corona Awareness Team” quickly criticized the MPs on Facebook. “Dear Ms Ewa Ernst-Dziedic. Thank you for your visit and your selfies with the children. But don’t the Greens in Austria know that it is mandatory for all adults on Lesbos to wear a mask?” It says in the post. “We think that puts the Greeks and us in danger. Most of all, like so many others here, you probably didn’t do a crown test before coming,” said the activists.

Ernst-Dziedic quickly saw his mistake and deleted the photo from his social networks. “You’re right, I deleted the post,” Green’s spokeswoman responded.

The green politician wants to stay in Lesbos until Sunday, meet with aid organizations such as Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to “find out how acute help can be provided and why nothing has happened for three days. ” By the way, Ernst-Dziedzic does not believe that the fire, which destroyed the desperately overcrowded camp, was started by the refugees themselves. It doesn’t seem like it, and there have been fires in the past that were clearly started by right-wing extremists.
