Poland's Seym discusses mailing bills to Belarusian opposition activists

Euroradio reminds, Poland's MFA mailed financial documents to the Belarusian opposition members. Opposition parties PiS, SLD and "Ruch Palikota" expressed their concern in this regard, writes Gazeta Wyborcza.

Deputy Foreign Minister Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz explained that the documents had been sent so openly because the Belarusian authorities knew about this journey of the Belarusian oppositionists anyway. The MFA is not going to look for someone to blame for this incident.

Representative of the party "SLD" Tadeusz Iwiński noted that the MFA was short-sighted at the least and had not learned the lesson of Ales Byalyatski's case.

In October 2012, a number of Belarusian oppositionists received financial documents from Poland via mail. The documents were sent to the participants of the Civil Society Conference, organized during the Eastern Partnership Summit in 2011. The documents reflected small sums, the so-called "daily wages", paid to the Belarusians.
