Finally, the EU has stepped up to help Poland, which ended up bearing the brunt of a row between Belarus and the EU. Poland saw multitudes of Muslim migrants at its border with Belarus, trying to violate its borders. Many were using violence.
Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko was accused of mounting a “hybrid attack” on Europe. Yet despite the ongoing crisis on the border and Poland’s efforts to defend its sovereignty amid mounting unrest, globalist France expects to continue its policies of wide-open doors, and even dares to interferes in Poland’s affairs. France’s Secretary of State for European Affairs, Clément Beaune, said he was “against the EU funding the wall to protect Europe’s borders. ‘I am not for a Europe which bristles with barbed wire or is covered with walls’, Beaune said.”
The undermining from within of the security of Western countries, and the weakening of the free societies of the West, is to be blamed squarely on globalist politicians who allow, and even encourage, constant incursions of unvetted migrants.
“France Opposes EU Funding for Polish Border Wall Amid Migrant Crisis,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, November 16, 2021:
The French government has come out in opposition to EU funding for the construction of a wall on the border between Poland and Belarus as thousands of Middle Eastern migrants are attempting to breach the European frontier.
On Monday, Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kamiński announced on social media that the construction of a wall along the border with Belarus would go ahead this year. Kamiński said the work will be carried out in shifts around the clock, with the construction being divided into four sections.
According to the local Polish newspaper, the Gazeta Wyborcza, the construction of the wall is expected to commence in December and will be completed by the first half of next year. The wall is expected to be 5.5 meters (18ft) in height and will stretch across 180 kilometres (111 miles) of the border with Belarus.
Reacting to the announcement France’s Secretary of State for European Affairs, Clément Beaune said he was against the EU funding the wall to protect Europe’s borders.
“I am not for a Europe which bristles with barbed wire or is covered with walls,” Beaune said in comments reported by Le Figaro.
Others in France have backed Poland’s efforts to defend its borders, including the EU’s former Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, who is currently a candidate for next year’s presidential election in France.
“We need to help the Polish government build a strong border,” Barnier said.
The statement from Beaune comes after French President Emmanuel Macron and Russian leader Vladimir Putin reportedly agreed to work towards de-escalating the migrant crisis. Mr Putin is a close ally to Belarussian leader Alexander Lukashenko, whom the EU has accused of orchestrating the migrant crisis as retaliation against sanctions imposed on Belarus by the bloc earlier this year.
Lukashenko has been accused of trafficking migrants to the borders of Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia after flying them over from the Middle East on airliners to Minsk.
While Poland has already constructed miles of barbed razor wire fencing along the border with Belarus, migrants have been seen using axes, shovels, and bolt cutters to break through the barrier. The migrants have also been seen felling trees onto the fences in order to make breaches easier.
Polish border officers have been also attacked during the latest wave of migration, with migrants pelting the Poles with stones and using strobe lights and lasers in an apparent attempt to blind the border guards.
It is currently unclear whether the European Union will commit any funding to help construct the border wall on the Polish frontier, however, last week EU Council President Charles Michel opened the door to the possibility, stating that the bloc has the legal right to fund such measures….

“.. ‘I am not for a Europe which bristles with barbed wire or is covered with walls’, Beaune said.”
Are we watching the slow disintegration of the EU, driven by mass illegal immigration? Is it time to rethink NATO? Why should other nations defend a nation that won’t defend itself?

another ten countries have been asking for funds from the eu to build walls including two bordering turkey but the eu denied this recently….
maybe poland that has recently come into a dispute with the eu since its top court decided that the european legislation is not going to overturn polish laws and rules… in a few words poland decided that they will not accept european laws passed into poland anymore….talks about polexit started right then…. this is probably the reason that the eu helps poland now and not other countries that european union takes for granted and whom accept all legislation from eu and fully cooperate with them unconditionally.

The EU is the “temporary” problem. Mid-term, Western Leftism in general is the problem. Long term, Islam is the ultimate dagger in the heart of Western Civilization.
Again I would assert that the West is now largely governed by fools or worse. “Solve” the temporary and mid-term problems I mentioned above and the long-term problem will be a major problem no more—relatively easily taken care of because Islam, ultimately, is a parasite that will feed off the achievements of others and thus the way to deal with this monstrous parasite is to cut off its “food supply.”
Sadly, not there yet. Yes indeed, the descent of Western Civilization does not continue first and foremost because of the worst religion of all time but because a plethora of ignorant, self-loathing creeps and fools within Western Civilization continue to hold on to power. As long as these rubes do, the West is in dire mode—and the Islamic world and your standard authoritarian regimes such as found in China are absolutely delighted by this.
The descent of the West continues. And there are zero good reasons for this. None.

Just let the wild hogs out. Use the wild pigs in those forests as a defence.

So Macron is a Putin puppet, right? Shouldn’t NATO appoint a special council headed by Robert S Mueller III to investigate French collusion w/ Russia towards disintegrating Poland? This century’s equivalent of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact (where Putin is Ribbentrop and Macron Molotov)
Michael Copeland says
Remember the late egregious Peter Sutherland, paid migration promoter of the UN?
“The days of hiding behind borders and fences are long gone… migrants are good for a community, economically and every other way.”

EU finally funds Poland border wall, upsetting Belarus and globalist France
…………..
Surprising but good to hear!
Peter Clemerson says
The Headline to this article reads “EU finally funds Poland border wall…”
The last paragraph states “It is currently unclear whether the European Union will commit any funding to help construct the border wall…”
Who wrote the headlines for this article? Can I assume it was not Christine Douglass-Williams herself? Did the headline writer actually read the article?

Poland has it right, a countries citizens have the right to control who enters their homes and country. This Muslim/Islamic migration is nothing short of an invasion by a foreign government called Islam.
