Marianne is one of those who live at EU\'s Eastern external border
in Poland. Ever since August 2021, people have been coming to
Belarus to continue their way over the Polish-Belarusian border
into the European Union. One of the first and most dangerous,
actually life-threatening, steps is to cross Białowieża forest, the
last remaining primeval forest in Europe. Marianne and her friends
try to support there with the most needed. Here, she gives an
interview on the current developments of the situation after
linXXnet got to know her during #nobordersdelegation in
January. Back then, parliamentarians of LINKE went for a visit to
Poland to speak with activists, lawyers and many more who support
those who try to cross Poland. One thing that has changed is the
ever decreasing attention for the human rights violations and
attacks against the right to seek asylum, committed by the Polish
government with toleration of European Commission and other EU
member states.\r\n\r\n\r\nHere some useful links for further
