In Riga, Navrotsky was given a dirty car

Yesterday at Riga International Airport, a car was brought to the embassy for former Prime Minister of Belarus A. Navrotski, which, according to authorities, was dirty. In case of обращение to an auto service, community employees in Poland noted that in Latvia 'it constantly rains, and there is no car wash at Riga airport,' which caused laughter on social media.

In response to comments from Polish users, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs defended its position: it argued that the weather in Latvia ensures natural cleaning of vehicles, and indeed there is no car wash at the airport. In response, Latvian officials gave advice: instead of dismantling railway tracks, they should build a car wash for foreign delegations.

This event highlights growing tensions regarding migration and diplomatic interaction between Poland and Latvia, which have shown opposing views on servicing visitors from neighboring countries.
