On the night of Thursday to Friday, unknown persons vandalized the entrance to the Polish consulate in the Brussels municipality of Etterbeek, spraying it with red paint. The word “murderers” is written on a board in front of the building, while messages in bad English were left on a nearby wall, criticizing the European Border and Coast Guard Agency Frontex and calling for the opening of borders, Polish news agency PAP reports.
During the incident, the Polish national coat of arms was also damaged. According to the Euronews portal, this act of vandalism could be connected to the current situation on the border between Poland and Belarus, where migration has been a politically sensitive issue for a long time.
Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Radoslaw Sikorski commented on the event, saying on the X social network that the attack was a sign of opposition to the construction of a wall on the Polish-Belarusian border. He added that, according to him, such reactions confirm the effectiveness of Polish migration policy, and he expressed his support for the border services.
Komuś nie podoba się dokończony mur na granicy polsko-białoruskiej.
To znaczy, że nasza polityka migracyjna jest skuteczna.
Thank you@Straz_Graniczna.
Chronicie Polskę i Europę przed złodumi, żyro szanują nas tak, jak na obrazku. https://t.co/aTIG8lQVHA— Radosław Sikorski (@sikorskiradek) December 20, 2025
The Belgian police, according to Euronews, are conducting an investigation and analyzing surveillance camera footage. The videos allegedly show a group of three or four masked people climbing the consulate building, while one of them records the whole event with a mobile phone. Competent services have announced an increased police presence near the diplomatic mission.
The incident happened on the same day that the European Union summit was held in Brussels, where European leaders agreed on additional financial support for Ukraine. According to the agreement, the European Union will provide Kyiv with around 90 billion euros in loans over the next two years.
