Former German government adviser Rahr announced Lukashenko's recognition of the EU after Merkel's call 
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko achieved his German Chancellor Angela Merkel recognized its legitimacy, said political scientist, ex-adviser to the FRG government, Alexander Rahr. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he suggested that this was the only thing Lukashenka needed from the West, and now he will drive migrants back to their countries.
Lukashenka and Merkel talked on the phone on Monday, 15th of November. The conversation lasted about 50 minutes. Many have speculated that Germany could use Lukashenko in the current conflict to fight Poland, which has been the biggest drag on Nord Stream 2. But Rahr is confident that Germany will never work or make deals with Belarus or Russia against Poland.
Victory for Lukashenka
“Poland is one of Germany's most important allies in the EU, despite differences over values and Nord Stream 2. Most likely, Germany, despite the fact that Merkel understood that it is necessary to talk directly with Lukashenko, wants to arrange a public flogging for Lukashenko, impose new sanctions against him, punish him for the refugees he sent to the EU. But Lukashenka got his way. Merkel recognized him, called, now it will be impossible to talk about the illegitimacy of the president in Europe, ”the political scientist is sure.
that Merkel understood: without the participation of the President of the Republic, the conflict on the border will not disappear, she had to choose between two evils and she chose the lesser.
“She decided to abandon morality here and try to directly and quickly resolve the issue. She thought about people, decided to put politics aside. And Lukashenko received the status of a legitimate ruler thanks to this long call from Merkel. Maybe that was all he wanted from the West. And now Lukashenka will drive these unfortunate migrants back to their countries, “Rahr suggested.
In early November, migrants from the Middle East, who are trying to get into the European Union, pitched a camp in Belarus on the border with Poland and Lithuania. The West accuses the Belarusian authorities of deliberately bringing migrants to their place on airplanes and forcing them to storm the border.
