Television Republic claims to have information that indicates the links of Clementina Suchanov with illegal networks dealing with the smuggling of people, which puts its function in committees appointed by the government in question.
In this controversial case, in addition to Suchanów, the names of another prominent activists, including Bartosz Kramek from the Open dialog Foundation and Paweł Kasprzak from the Polish Citizens' Movement, appear. According to the Republika station, the D.A. has materials that propose that these individuals were active in the organisation of illegal transport of migrants to Western European countries, including Germany.
Clementine Suchanov, although more widely known for her activities in the National Women's Strike and as an expert in 2 parliamentary committees (including for the survey of Russian influences) and to which she was sent by Donald Tusk, was active in the smuggling of migrants. The territory Prosecutor's Office in Hajnówka, investigating the illegal crossing of the Polish-Belarusian border, was to establish its links with persons accused of cooperating with the Border Group (GG) – an organization that attacked the governments of the Law and Justice organization for their treatment of migrants. Although there is no hard evidence of her direct engagement in the transport of migrants, there is evidence of her cooperation with persons accused of smuggling.
The case files mention not only the names of Suchanov, but besides Bartosz Kramek and Paweł Kasprzak. According to the materials of the prosecutor's office, Kramek, known for his activity in the Open dialog Foundation, was to coordinate activities aimed at helping decision migrants into Poland. In correspondence between Justyna W. – accused of smuggling – and Suchanov, there is simply a thread about organising transport of migrants. Justyna W. wrote to the activist, among others: “You gotta take 9 people to Warsaw present or tomorrow. We are in Wrocław, we will be in Hajnówka tomorrow. He drives 1 or 2 people. We request more drivers.” Such messages may indicate the active engagement of Suchanov in organising transport, although it is not clearly confirmed that she was straight liable for the transport of migrants.
In the same correspondence there is besides information about cooperation with the Border Group, whose action between 2021 and 1922 aimed at supporting migrants in crossing the Polish-Belarusian border. The GG, operating outside the authoritative structures, was to usage the network of contacts to organise transports of migrants into the country. specified actions went beyond the limits of legality, which was emphasised by both the peculiar services and the prosecution. The cooperation of Suchanov with the GG, according to law enforcement materials cited by journalists, was besides intended to include recommendations for people like Paweł Kasprzak, who was besides active in helping migrants, and talks about the “underground” of the GG, indicating the deep advanced nature of this grid.
The files of the case are besides to include information that indicates a direct contact between Suchanov and those active in the smuggling, including Justyna W. and Bartosz Kramek. Joint action was to organise “drivers” for the transport of migrants, which could be an crucial part of the smuggling procedure in the light of the collected materials. However, the prosecution stresses that although there is evidence of cooperation, there is no clear evidence of its direct engagement in the smuggling.
The Public Prosecutor's Office besides has materials that point to the activities of Suchanov in the context of its function in 2 government committees: the Law and Justice Repression Commissions and the Russian and Belarusian Influence Commissions from 2004 to 2024. Both of these committees, despite serious allegations related to their person, did not take any action to verify their engagement in the illegal spread of migrants.
The case concerning Clementina Suchanov is becoming increasingly complicated in the context of its function in government committees. The fact that Suchanov remains an expert in the Committee on Russian and Belarusian Influences, despite the emerging evidence of her association with illegal activities, raises serious controversy. As any commentators point out, its continued function undermines both the credibility of the committee and the reasonableness of government policy towards migrants.
I am categorically dementing these accusations. I have never collaborated with organizations that supply assistance on the Polish-Belarusian border," said Interia Suchanov in consequence to newscasts by the Republic.
Media specified as Independent.pl, tv Republic and others associated with the Law and Justice, however, are certain of their accusations and keep them.
