“In a couple of months the same will happen with us because of the prices for gas and electricity”: readers of the Polish press react to the events in Kazakhstan
The foreign press reacts to the riots and reports of hostilities against terrorist groups in Kazakhstan. Moreover, it reacts in different ways.
What does the Polish press write about this and how do Polish readers comment on the situation?
The Polish press focuses on what formally triggered the protest in Kazakhstan. It points to an approximately twofold increase in gas prices in "a state that is a major exporter of hydrocarbons." The Polish media write about the breakthrough by the protesters of the police cordons, robberies of banks and shops, attempts to seize the airport of Almaty. At the same time, the Polish press does not inform its readers that by the decision of the President of the country, the release of prices for liquefied gas was canceled a short time after the jump in these prices.
Most of all, the Polish press pays attention to the request from Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev for assistance through the CSTO. Polish journalists write that now “Russian and Belarusian troops will appear on the territory of Kazakhstan”.
Comments from Polish readers:
In the German press, attention is focused on the fact that "the Kazakh government does not agree to a dialogue with the people." At the same time, the authors in the German media do not specify with whom specifically the republic's authorities should enter into dialogue - with those who shoot at the police, are fighting with the military personnel of the Airborne Forces, or with those who rob banks and shops.
Meanwhile, the main Kazakhstani information resources remain without access. The pages of millions of Kazakhstani users on social networks do not function.
