“A few individuals from a group of 30–40 bandits from the Caucasus, who in effect control a small part of Warsaw today, right next to the S8 route, are beating people, attacking elderly women, doing whatever they please. The police stand aside, witnessing everything, yet do nothing,” wrote Paweł Jabłoński on Twitter. The Law and Justice (PiS) MP supported his claim by publishing several videos showing, among other things, Chechens assaulting women. When asked about the matter, Warsaw’s Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski (Civic Platform, PO) responded with a smirk, stating that “he is not responsible for that.”
According to MP Paweł Jabłoński (Law and Justice), a group of Chechens has for several days been physically attacking merchants at Modlińska 6D. In the videos he obtained and published, one can see attacks using pepper spray, fire extinguishers, and sticks against traders originating not only from Vietnam but also from the Caucasus. What is particularly shocking is that the footage also shows police officers present at the scene, who do not intervene in any way against the aggression.
Their only response was to shout at one of the victims: “Move over, ma’am!”
In photographs published later… the officers are seen smiling alongside the Chechens.
“I have just received information that the police plan to leave the area near the hall, abandoning the merchants—mostly women—to the mercy of several dozen strongmen from Chechnya for the night. ‘If something happens—call us,’ they said. In recent hours, the thugs once again used pepper spray. The merchants are very afraid of what may happen during the night,” Jabłoński wrote in the evening.
Meanwhile, when asked about the aggressive Chechens, Rafał Trzaskowski smiled and replied that “he is not responsible for public safety—that is the responsibility of the police.” “I fear for everything. They have rights, and what do we have?” one of the merchants from Vietnam told TV Republika, weeping.
