A month ago, the people of Kybartai were shocked by the news that the correctional facility was being destroyed and the Alien Registration Center would be established.
“We were already preparing to organize a rally, but people seemed to have calmed down after the meeting with Minister Agne Bilotaite, who assured that the migrants would not walk through the city. Now there are no riots, although fears of migrants taking to the streets have remained.
We are told that migrants will live temporarily, perhaps for half a year, but we do not know what they will be like in reality.
We already have problems with the Roma community living in Kybartai. It causes us many concerns, “said V. Katkevičius.
According to Romas Šunokas, the eldest of the Kybartai Elderhood, the locals initially feared ignorance. The prison staff were the ones who feared the most because of the unexpected situation.
“Although the fears of the public have disappeared, the real situation will be revealed later. We have a sad experience with the gypsy people, I am not sure how it will really be, because we fear the ties between the locals and that contingent. Fear always gives rise to it. to various restless thoughts.
While I work, I will raise all issues in public.
For the moment, we can be glad that the police team has started patrolling Kybartai 24 hours a day, because the compound has been removed for a long time.
In addition, new jobs have been created in the new Foreigners Registration Center.
If it is safe, we will have work, there will be.
As far as I know, we need creators, chefs, doctors, security guards, cleaners.
There will be a total of 262 jobs, more than home repairs.
However, people lack information, they call the elders to work, but we do not employ ourselves, ”said Elder R. Šunokas.
He is convinced that if the safety of Kybartai residents is guaranteed, there will be no major problems.
The community president, V. Katkevičius, is a bit skeptical about the joy of the new jobs.
“Only 16 kybartans out of 176 employees worked at the correctional facility. It seems that there are those who are willing to work. People are used to receiving benefits, they do not need a job. Also, it is unlikely that there are qualified specialists in the city, they will travel from everywhere, ”said V. Katkevičius.
Employees of the Kybartai branch of the Vilkaviškis Youth and Adult School are not living in the most fun way at the moment.
The apartment is located in the same building as the old correctional facility.
“We only serviced the correctional facility. The department, which is apparently going to close, will have to be moved.
We are still here today, we have not received an official letter yet, we have not delivered pardon sheets. If that agony tempts you, there will be nothing good.
There were 18 teachers in the department. They all have other jobs except three.
Our students have already been eliminated. We wanted to remove them from the lists today, but we can’t because they shut down the internet.
We had 80 students. Before September 1, when rumors spread that there would be no prison facilities, we did not enroll new students, although we usually had around 120. We distribute several certificates each year, ”said Rimantas Balanevičius, head of the Kybartai department.
He said he had no information on the closure of the correctional facility a month ago.
“With a teacher, we were in the teachers’ room, waiting for the convicts to arrive, who had to request training.
We received a large delegation of people. I thought of a tour that sometimes visits a prison.
I opened the cabinets. They toured the facility and asked if there was internet. Not a word was said for what purpose he was visiting.
The next morning I got to work and I said to myself: “What did you come for? There were already merchants. “
You don’t need to make such decisions overnight.
I have worked in the education system for 40 years, this is the first time I have come across such a situation, ”said R. Balanevičius.
On Monday a new sign was hung in the old prison, from which 300 prisoners were taken to other prisons.
700 migrants (all men) will live in a dormitory-type building in fairly good condition.
The building is heated, has a library, internet connection, crafts center, medical point, gym.
There are sports fields in the area. The migrants will be provided hot food.
