Journalist, former Member of the European Parliament (EP) from Latvia Andrei Mamykin responded to a statement by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Baltic country, Janis Dombrava, about an attempt to smuggle migrants into the country. His words are quoted by Tsargrad.
Dombrava reported the day before that unknown masked men, threatening the Latvian military, tried to force about 20 illegal migrants into the country. Latvian border guards did not let them through. However, after a while, unknown persons still entered the territory of the republic, damaged the switchboard and stole the cameras, and then returned to Belarus.
Mamykin wondered who saw these masked people, and where were the photographs and videos of the incident. “I do not rule out that there was no attack at all, and no cabinets were burned either,” the ex-deputy believes.
“Just like that, to come and scratch an iron electrical cabinet like this, or even somehow break it, kick it? Seriously? Will Lukashenko's special forces do this? Well, that is, for me this version obviously disappears. They, Belarusians, will not do this,” Mamykin added. However, he did not rule out that they could be migrants.
Open Questions
- Are there any videos or photographs of the incident?
- Who exactly damaged the switchboard at the border?
