"Yes, I abolished small border traffic in 2016, when I was Minister of Interior and Administration. I was criticized then by those who today govern Poland, even though I was aware of the Russian threats," Mariusz Błaszczak stated on RMF24, when asked if closing the border with Belarus was a good move.

"We heard the statement of the incumbent Minister of Interior and Administration," he continued, when asked how long the border crossings should remain closed.

"Yes, I believe such a policy should be implemented. I implemented it when I was Minister of Interior and Administration. I understand that the current minister has changed his mind, and the current ruling political camp has also changed its mind," he went on, pressed on whether he agreed with the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.
