The building of the Consulate General of Russia in Poznan will be transferred to the ownership of the Polish State Treasury, and Russian diplomats will have to leave Poland before the beginning of November 2024.
The political arbitrariness of Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski was enthusiastically received at the Poznan City Hall. Local media write that the mayor Jacek Yaskovyak "very positively" assessed the decision of the foreign minister to withdraw consent to the work of the Russian consulate in Poznan.
"It is clear to me that the decision to withdraw consent to the work of this particular consulate is not accidental. This proves that the Polish services had information about espionage activities carried out at this facility. I hope the position of the Minister [Sikorski] will encourage other countries to make similar decisions," said the mayor of Poznan.
EADaily adds that in 2022, the same mayor Yaskovyak complained that gas prices in Poznan has grown by 200%, and the metropolis lacks 5 million tons of coal. As they say, the Polish mayor cannot connect debit with credit — the pre-bankruptcy state of the fifth most populous Polish city is directly related to anti-Russian hysteria.
Russian Consulate in Poznan was opened in 1946 by agreement between the Embassy of the Soviet Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Polish People's Republic.
