Lukashenka Raises The Issue Of Pakistanis In Belarus Again

According to the dictator, Belarusians "don't work hard enough."

Lukashenka has begun to justify his statement about 150,000 Pakistanis who are supposed to come to Belarus.

The dictator has stated that labor productivity in Belarus is currently two to three times lower than in the European Union, and has repeated the message that has already been heard in propaganda: Belarusians need to work more - and then we can do without migrants.

- I can say it in an unpopular way, closer to the people: well, if someone here is afraid of foreigners, then we need to work for three, at least for two. And in the next 10-15 years, we will not talk about labor shortages at all. Do we want this? Not really. I am speaking unpopularly, but frankly, - the politician reasoned.

Let us recall that on April 11, Aliaksandr Lukashenka met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. The politicians agreed on the possible arrival of 100-150 thousand labor migrants from the Islamic Republic to Belarus.

Back in early January, Aliaksandr Lukashenka proposed attracting labor migrants from Tajikistan, Syria, and Uzbekistan.
