According to initial data from officials, migrants temporarily housed in the Rūdninkai landfill camp rebelled due to deteriorating conditions: their tents were overwhelmed by the rain.
It is said that a group of disgruntled foreigners tried to escape, for which the agents had to use force and special means. The landfill riots started after 2 p.m.
A reinforcement of the police force was dispatched to the scene. „14,16 A report was received that disturbances were taking place at the landfill. As a result, police forces were sent there to help. ” 15 minutes learned at the Communication Department of the Vilnius County Police Chief Commissariat.
Part of the tents for illegal immigrants at the Rūdninkai landfill fell as a result of heavy rains on Monday night, causing unrest but were put down, said the representative of the Interior Minister.
“After the night it rained, the migrants were very unhappy because their tents got wet, they had to be tidied up a bit, shaken with water, dried. They weren’t satisfied with that and there was a bit of discomfort, ”Lina Laurinaitytė-Grigienė told BNS.
“It’s not about the water that flows through those tents,” he said.
According to L. Laurinaitytė-Grigienė, the reinforcement of the Public Security Service agents was summoned to the scene and the situation was controlled.
“It just came to our notice then. It should be understood that we do not have the opportunity to provide migrants with first-rate tents; we get some from the bilateral support, some from the reserve. Be that as it may, it’s a shame that so long,” the counselor explained to the minister.
He added that the police also attended the scene.
It should be understood that we do not have the capacity to provide first-rate tents to migrants.
The Ministry of the Interior (MIA) recently announced that it plans to house 800 illegal immigrants at the Rūdninkai landfill.
To ensure the safety of both the detainees and the anxiety-stricken local population, a water cannon was brought to the Rūdninkai landfill last week and several armored personnel carriers arrived.
Rustama Liubajev, head of the State Border Guard Service (SBGS), announced this Monday morning that the limit for the accommodation of illegal immigrants in firewalls has been reached. Therefore, temporary accommodation for detainees, such as this camp, which first sparked passions at the Rūdninkai landfill, has been extremely important and necessary lately. On Sunday alone, it was recorded that almost three hundred people entered Lithuania illegally. More than a hundred of them were detained from midnight to noon on August 2, so the statistics for the last day may be significant.
Ylva Johansson, the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, has just arrived in Lithuania to assess the situation due to the migration crisis.
The senior guest emphasized that the European Commission was ready to provide additional funds for border protection.
The European Commissioner, who arrived in Lithuania on a two-day visit to assess the situation of illegal immigrants, met with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda and Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonyte on Monday.
Lithuania is considering applying for help to host immigrants in other EU countries.
We always have the opportunity to request the voluntary exchange of migrants, if Lithuania requests it.
“When it comes to the relocation of migrants from Lithuania, we lack a system to provide such support, but we see that Member States are responding quickly and ambitiously to provide support and solidarity to Lithuania, both in terms of equipment, staff and always opportunity to apply for voluntary migration and European integration. The Commission can do so if Lithuania requests it, “Y. Johansson said at a press conference today.
