Janusz Korwin-Mikke attends security conference in Minsk

Polish politician Janusz Korwin-Mikke participated in the IV International Eurasian Security Conference in Minsk on November 3. The event featured speakers including Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Korwin-Mikke’s presence in Belarus has drawn sharp criticism from members of Poland’s ruling coalition. Government representatives, including Adam Szłapka and Roman Giertych, have used the visit to criticize the broader right-wing political spectrum, with some drawing historical parallels to political betrayal.

In response to the criticism, Korwin-Mikke stated that Belarus is defending itself against being absorbed by Russia. He also provided an interview to Belarus Radio regarding disputes surrounding the Polish Constitutional Tribunal.
