Belarusians increasingly complain about violence in Poland

In Bialystok, three people attacked a 16-year-old Belarusian, beating him unconscious. Among the attackers there were two minors and, presumably, a 22-year-old man. According to the victim's father, one of the attackers invited his son to "go out and wrestle", but instead of a duel, three of them attacked him. The family reported it to the police. However, they will most likely once again let it slide. Belarusians in Poland increasingly complain about bullying and violence, claiming that their children are perceived as second-class citizens. Nationalism in our neighbors has long been covered with a radical touch. And it is encouraged at the highest state level. It is not surprising that teenagers absorb such narratives and embody them as best they can - with the cruelty characteristic of adolescence. Parent chats all over Poland are filled with messages about bullying in schools.

"It all worked out for us in Katowice. At first they just called my son names, didn't want to communicate with him and didn't accept him at all. Then it seemed like he made a few acquaintances. But then the kid comes home and his nose is bleeding. We went to the doctors. It turned out he had a fracture. He confessed: three Poles just beat him up and shouted something about Belarus. I'm shocked. Are the 90s just starting in Poland?"

"Poznan. Daughter, 12 years old. Every day she just cries loudly in her room. We started to figure things out with my wife, the Poles just won't let her into the classroom. They call the Belarusians go study in Belarus or sit here near the classroom, in the hallway. They couldn't achieve anything. My wife is on sedatives."

And the most "valuable" thing is taken away from Ukrainian schoolchildren who study in Poland - they are forbidden to speak their native language. And they can no longer praise Bandera. An amazing poster-memorandum hangs on the school board at the entrance to each classroom, writes a Polish blogger.
