“I am 16 years old. I came because it was very bad in my country, Eritrea, there was a war, they wanted to force me to go to war,” one of the migrants explained to LNK television in English.
The teenager says he received money from a friend and flew to Africa via Turkey via Turkey. Another claims to have come to Cameroon to flee, allegedly having to do so because he is gay.
“I came to Belarus as a student because my country is very bad, everyone does not like homosexuals there, it is a difficult life there,” he explained in Russian.
However, he soon realized that in Belarus, even worse.
“It is a prison with borders, which is called a state,” said the migrant.
So far, similar stories of illegal migrants have often not been confirmed: inspections show that migrants in their homeland are in no danger and are fleeing through forests, simply hoping to enter the rich countries of Europe. western.
Finance Minister Gintarė Skaistė came to the migrant camp because the mayors of the municipalities that received the migrants were outraged by Vilnius’ chaotic instructions for some time.
It is also outrageous that the government does not allocate money to feed migrants: it has been said that € 5.85 should be spent on feeding a migrant as it is spent at the Aliens Center in Pabradė, but actually feeding migrants it’s much more expensive. .
“That minimum standard will definitely be reimbursed (costs – aut.p.). If there are purchases that pose major problems, they will probably be decided separately,” said G. Skaistė.
Some migrants do not eat the food they are given
According to the mayor of Lazdijai, Ausma Miškinienė, it is necessary to adapt to the tastes of migrants: not everyone eats what they are given. This is confirmed by the illegal immigrants themselves.
“I don’t eat your food, sorry,” said a newcomer from Eritrea.
However, according to A. Miškinienė, over time, chefs have adapted to the most demanding immigrants and now the situation is better.
“There really are a lot of challenges related to nutrition and diet. It is not very convenient, but in three weeks, both the women who cook and those who eat have already identified certain taste needs and the situation is now improving. It should be noted that the Food Bank also contributes, said the mayor.
According to her, newcomers often eat poultry, pasta, fermented cheese, dairy products.
According to A. Miškinienė, there are simply no food providers for the stated amount of € 5.85 per migrant per day.
“14 euros with transport, dishes, food three times a day is the lowest price we could buy. We will buy again in the near future when the current contract expires. If we can buy cheaper, we will be sincerely happy,” said the mayor of the Lazdijai district.
“So far, we have heard that all costs incurred by the municipalities will be covered. Definitely within the limits of the mind. As mentioned by the Minister of Finance, the expenses incurred between July 2 and July 12, when a more detailed list of expenses was approved, (…) will be reimbursed. Without a doubt, the supporting documents will have to be attached, we will attach them ”, taught A. Miškinienė.
At that time, the minister urges migrants to feed themselves as cheaply as possible, but not for the sake of frugality.
“We have to agree that Lukashenko’s travel package does not include excessive comfort or sea views. We must guarantee minimum standards,” said the finance minister.
In the Varėna district, locals also bring food and clothing for migrants.
“The way I see it, those connections are normal: they support, they buy ice cream, they bring clothes,” Genė Ramaškienė, the oldest in the city, told LNK.
